Harvard Pressure Builds as Lawmakers Advance Antisemitism Probe

Harvard University’s highest governing board came under new pressure as a US congressional committee requested a trove of documents related to a probe of the school’s handling of antisemitism.

The House Committee on Education and the Workforce asked Harvard Corp. Chair Penny Pritzker and interim President Alan Garber for all documents and communications involving antisemitism on campus since early 2021. The request covered entities including the president’s office and Harvard Corp., as well as the Board of Overseers, an alumni panel.
