Description

At a hearing to investigate campus antisemitism, Rep. Elise Stefanik grilled the presidents of Harvard and University of Pennsylvania about their seeming hypocrisy over acceptable speech on campus. Video of Stefanik’s questioning went viral. Since then, Penn’s Elizabeth Magill resigned and Harvard’s Claudine Gay is under pressure to step down. But what the pro-Hamas, antisemitic chanting and campus protests have exposed is worse than hypocritical university policies. The deeper scandal is rooted in the ideas dominating academia. Join Onkar Ghate and Elan Journo as they discuss the philosophic issues raised by the hearings on antisemitism and the climate on campuses.
