2023 United States Congress hearing on antisemitism

[4] Four days later, on December 9, 2023, Liz Magill, president of the University of Pennsylvania, submitted her resignation, partly in response to backlash resulting from the hearing.

[10][11] Many universities were criticized for supposedly failing to adequately condemn the Hamas attacks[12] and ensuing alleged antisemitic rhetoric, including Penn and Harvard.

[21] It was later reported that Minouche Shafik of Columbia University was invited to testify before the committee, but she declined due to a "scheduling conflict" with pre-planned speeches at the 2023 United Nations Climate Change Conference in Dubai.

[22][23] Committee chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) led the hearing on December 5, and noted that the rise of antisemitism on college campuses is disturbing and threatening to Jewish students, faculty, and staff.

[2] Gay released a statement noting that some "have confused a right to free expression with the idea that Harvard will condone calls for violence against Jewish students.

[34][35] The hearing was portrayed in the cold open of the December 9 episode of Saturday Night Live Season 49, in which Chloe Troast played Stefanik.

[36] It was also satirized in an episode of the Israeli comedy show Eretz Nehederet, with a guest appearance from American comedian Michael Rapaport.
