Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY ) criticized Harvard University on Thursday for failing to act against anti-Semitism and supporting” those who hate Jewish students.”
” This establishment has failed time and time again to take measures to adequately address this plague and hold perpetrators accountable”, Stefanik, who is a Harvard alumni, wrote in a text to its interim president. Your activities continue to denigrate this establishment and threaten the security of the pupils you claim to serve.
The school administration has consistently chosen to support those who hate Jewish students and faculty and have failed to keep them safe, Stefanik continued.” At a time when aid and programs for Harvard have fallen, the school administration has consistently chosen to part with them,” Stefanik continued.
Stefanik’s email cited the failure of the school to take immediate action following a “die-in” on October 18 at Harvard Business School when student activists attacked a student shooting and attacked a signal with the murderous anti-Israel slogan “from the river to the sea.”
An Israeli student from the Harvard Business School of Israel immediately surrounded by a crowd of anti-Israel protest who assaulted and harassed him during the event, according to Stefanik. ” These intruders blocked his way, constantly grabbed him, and shouted’ Shame! Shame! Shame!’ at him”.
The law firm Harvard hired to conduct an investigation shared video evidence of the event with the murderer’s attorneys in January, according to documents obtained by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, of which Stefanik is a part.
Despite the picture information, one of the accused intruders is scheduled to turn in May 2024, the same month as a court date that has been postponed.

The perpetrator will now enjoy the longstanding distinction of being an graduate of Harvard despite having committed a well-known racist dislike crime against a fellow student, according to Stefanik. The delay in justice that allows an racist student to graduate is an insult to responsibilities and demonstrates the historical decay of Harvard University’s leadership, which has allowed racism to continue, according to the statement from Justice for this event.
Stefanik then made allusion to her December meeting with Claudine Gay, a past president of Harvard, who said it depends on the context if calling for the Holocaust is considered harassment.
” In front of Congress, when humiliated previous Harvard Presdient Claudine Gay failed to denounce racism and calls for murder, she even claimed’ disciplinary approach are underway’ against perpetrators of antisemitism”, Stefanik’s text states. This has proven to be false because Harvard has not produced any form of punishment for those who have committed crimes and have broken Harvard’s code of conduct.
The congresswoman also cited a case involving Harvard employee Gustavo Espada suing the university for antisemitism in a debate about whether Israel is to blame for September 11th, which was first reported by The Daily Wire.
I ask that you participate in my debate on March 1 at the Cambridge Street overpass. The Department of East Asian Languages and Civilizations ‘ financial systems coordinator wrote. If you do n’t show up, I’ll make you look like a puppet or plant in a pot.
Gustavo responded to The Daily Wire’s request for comment by posting a video of him holding a toy machete to TikTok, in which he claimed he is prepared to fight. ” I’m not going to go into details, but this is a good plan. So if you follow us, this is what’s happening, he says in Spanish before photos of various prominent Jews and a screenshot of a tweet sent by the Jewish student.
” This recent case of Harvard protecting those who hate Jews is disgusting”, the New York congresswoman continued. Allowing this student to hold the title of Harvard graduate disgraces all those who have come before him and undermines the distinction of a once sought after degree, according to the alumna of Harvard University.
The Daily Wire has covered recent incidents at Harvard that are anti-Semitic and anti-Israel, including a student effort to pass divestment resolutions, a contractor tearing down hostage posters, and events with speakers who defended the October 7 massacre.
