Congress subpoenas Columbia University officials in ongoing antisemitism investigation

"The information we have obtained points to a continued pattern of negligence towards antisemitism," Rep. Virginia Foxx wrote in the subpoena.

"Columbia should be a partner in our efforts to ensure Jewish students have a safe learning environment on its campus, but instead, university administrators have slow rolled the investigation, repeatedly failing to turn over necessary documents," Foxx said in a statement. "The information we have obtained points to a continued pattern of negligence towards antisemitism and a refusal to stand up to the radical students and faculty responsible for it."  Kendall Tietz is a writer with Fox News Digital. 

"The goal of this investigation has always been to protect Jewish students and faculty, and if compulsory measures are necessary to obtain the documents the Committee requires, so be it," she added. 

Armstrong took over for embattled former Columbia University President Minouche Shafik, who resigned earlier this month. She faced repeated calls to step down over her response to the anti-Israel protests and encampments that overtook Columbia's campus in the spring and led to the canceling of classes, as well as the school's main commencement ceremony in May.
