HRES 927 United States House · 118th Congress

Condemning antisemitism on University campuses and the testimony of University Presidents in the House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

HRES 927 is a symbolic resolution passed by the U.S. House of Representatives condemning antisemitism on college campuses and criticizing the testimony of three university presidents (Harvard’s Claudine Gay, MIT’s Sally Kornbluth, and Penn’s Elizabeth Magill) before the House Education Committee. It specifically addresses their evasive responses when asked whether calls for the genocide of Jews violate campus policies, noting their statements about "context" and lack of clear condemnation. The resolution does not create new laws or policies but formally expresses the House’s stance against antisemitism and holds university leadership accountable for their testimony. It directly affects the referenced university presidents and their institutions by publicly criticizing their handling of campus antisemitism.
