Different Hearing Format for Harvard, Michigan Presidents on Campus Antisemitism
The presidents of Yale University and the University of Michigan will not appear before a full congressional committee as previously expected and be subjected to a public grilling about their responses to alleged antisemitism on their campuses. Instead, Peter Salovey of Yale and Santa Ono of Michigan will be questioned on June 20 and August 9, respectively, on Capitol Hill in transcribed interviews by U.S. House Education and the Workforce Committee "”counsel(s) and/or Committee staff designated by the Chair and Ranking Member, respectively,” according to letters sent to them Thursday by committee chairwoman Virginia Foxx and included in a committee press release.
