Presidents of Harvard, MIT & UPenn Testify on Antisemitism on Their Campuses | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The presidents of 3 universities testified on Capitol Hill today regarding antisemitism on campus. It is a problem that has escalated since the October 7th terror attack by Hamas on Israel. Lawmakers pressed the presidents of Harvard, MIT and the University of Pennsylvania on the actions being taken to protect Jewish students. Professor William Jacobson of Cornell University, joins to share the main takeaways after hearing from those university presidents' testimonies. The hatred we've seen playing out on campuses is horrible, but Jacobson thinks that it's been enabled by university policy and entirely predictable for years. He explains how so. Some of those testifying referred to the hatred on both sides, both Jewish and Palestinian. Jacobson discusses how misleading the "both sides" argument is as we try to tackle antisemitism head on. One of the more interesting portions of the hearing surrounded the diversity of thought and talent on campus. He tells us whether he thinks that hiring more Conservative faculty and staff on campus will lessen antisemitism. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
