House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik has commented on the Anti-Defamation League's Campus Antisemitism Report Card, which evaluates how American universities address antisemitism on their campuses. Stefanik stated, “The ADL’s Antisemitism Report Card confirmed what we’ve known for years; there is a moral rot in our higher education system. We must demand that our colleges and universities demonstrate sorely needed moral leadership." She emphasized the presence of systemic antisemitism in universities like Harvard, where Jewish students have faced verbal and physical attacks without adequate support from university leaders.
Stefanik also commended schools such as Brandeis and Elon for receiving high grades in the report card, stating, "I want to highlight Brandeis and Elon who earned As as schools that are taking important action to protect Jewish students and combatting antisemitism." She further emphasized the importance of ongoing investigations by House Republicans to safeguard students and steer higher education away from this troubling chapter.
