H. Res. 927

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                     December 13, 2023.
Whereas, on October 7, 2023, the world witnessed Hamas terrorists perpetrate the 
        deadliest attack against the Jewish people since the Holocaust;
Whereas, in the months since, the Anti-Defamation League has recorded 2,031 
        antisemitic incidents, 400 of which occurred on college campuses, a more 
        than 330-percent increase from the year prior;
Whereas Jewish and Israeli students have faced physical violence, hate-filled 
        disruptions in the classroom, calls from students and faculty advocating 
        for the elimination and destruction of Israel, and other forms of 
        persistent harassment;
Whereas, according to a recent study from the Anti-Defamation League and Hillel 
        International, 73 percent of Jewish college students surveyed have 
        experienced or witnessed some form of antisemitism on campus since the 
        beginning of the school year, up from 32 percent the prior year;
Whereas many university administrations have failed to address the rise of 
        antisemitism;
Whereas to hold universities accountable, the House Committee on Education and 
        the Workforce held a hearing on December 5, 2023;
Whereas, when the Presidents of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard 
        University, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology were asked if 
        calling for the genocide of Jews violates university policies on 
        bullying and harassment, Presidents Elizabeth Magill, Claudine Gay, and 
        Sally Kornbluth were evasive and dismissive, failing to simply condemn 
        such action;
Whereas President Magill stated, ``It is a context-dependent decision'';
Whereas President Gay insisted that it ``depends on the context'';
Whereas President Kornbluth responded it would only constitute harassment if it 
        were ``targeted at individuals'';
Whereas President Magill has resigned, and the other Presidents should follow 
        suit; and
Whereas acts of hate, intimidation, discrimination, and violence-based on 
        ethnicity or religion have no place in our country or in the global 
        community: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) strongly condemns the rise of antisemitism on university 
        campuses around the country; and
            (2) strongly condemns the testimony of University of Pennsylvania 
        President Elizabeth Magill, Harvard University President Claudine Gay, 
        and Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth and 
        their failure to clearly state that calls for the genocide of Jews 
        constitute harassment and violate their institutions' codes of conduct 
        in front of the House Committee on Education and the Workforce on 
        December 5, 2023.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
