Elite uni chiefs backtrack in ‘despicable’ antisemitism row
Washington | The presidents of Harvard University and the University of Pennsylvania have been forced to issue statements clarifying their responses to a US congressional hearing on antisemitism after a barrage of criticism from business leaders and politicians that shows few signs of abating.
Harvard’s Claudine Gay and Penn’s Liz Magill were lambasted for refusing to say at the event on Tuesday that calling for the genocide of Jews is against school policy, instead offering narrow legal responses.
