Whereas, according to a recent study from the Anti-Defamation League and Hillel International, 73 percent of Jewish college students surveyed have experienced or witnessed some form of antisemitism on campus since the 

beginning of the school year, up from 32 percent the 

prior year; 

Whereas many university administrations have failed to address the rise of antisemitism; 

Whereas to hold universities accountable, the House Committee on Education and the Workforce held a hearing on 

December 5, 2023;

Sally Kornbluth were evasive and dismissive, failing to 

simply condemn such action; 

Whereas President Magill stated, ‘‘It is a context-dependent 

decision’’; 

Whereas President Gay insisted that it ‘‘depends on the context’’; 

Whereas President Kornbluth responded it would only constitute harassment if it were ‘‘targeted at individuals’’; 

Whereas President Magill has resigned, and the other Presidents should follow suit; and 

Whereas acts of hate, intimidation, discrimination, and violence-based on ethnicity or religion have no place in our
