Stefanik slams Harvard for 'cultural rot,' allowing suspect in antisemitic attack to graduate
Fox News
House GOP Chair Rep. Elise Stefanik torched Harvard for "cultural rot" as the person allegedly responsible for attacking a Jewish student nears graduation.
"During this event, an Israeli Harvard Business School student recorded the act and was quickly surrounded by a mob of anti-Israel protesters, who assaulted and harassed him," Stefanik wrote. "These assailants blocked his path, repeatedly grabbed him, and shouted ‘Shame! Shame! Shame!’ at him. This assault is well documented and was denounced by many alumni who were rightly outraged by the actions of these protesters and called for accountability."

Stefanik cited documents obtained by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce showing that Harvard engaged the law firm of Jenner & Block to conduct an independent investigation of the Oct. 18 incident. Jenner & Block met with the victims’ attorneys at the law firm Holtzman Vogel in early January 2024 and received relevant video evidence of the incident, Stefanik said.
