The House Education and the Workforce Committee subpoenaed<\/a> six leaders of Columbia University on Wednesday after the Ivy League school failed to provide the panel with documents it requested as part of an investigation into Jew-hatred on campus.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cColumbia should be a partner in our efforts to ensure Jewish students have a safe learning environment on its campus,\u201d stated Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.), the committee\u2019s chairwoman. \u201cInstead, university administrators have slow-rolled the investigation, repeatedly failing to turn over necessary documents.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Foxx said the information that the panel has received so far shows \u201ca continued pattern of negligence towards antisemitism and a refusal to stand up to the radical students and faculty responsible for it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The committee is waiting to receive board minutes and information about disciplinary cases related to encampment protests, among other documents, it said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe committee today issues a subpoena due to Columbia\u2019s repeated failure to fulfill priority requests by deadlines that elapsed prior to your accession to the university\u2019s presidency,\u201d Foxx wrote to the university\u2019s interim president Katrina Armstrong.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the committee must move forward with compulsory process as previously indicated, we sincerely hope that Columbia\u2019s new leadership will result in increased cooperation,\u201d Foxx added.<\/span><\/p>\n

Per the subpoena, Armstrong must appear before the committee in the Rayburn House Office Building on Sept. 4 at noon \u201cto produce the things identified on the attached schedule touching matters of inquiry committed to said committee or subcommittee, and you are not to depart without leave of said committee or subcommittee.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to Armstrong, the House panel also subpoenaed Columbia board<\/a> co-chairs David Greenwald and Claire Shipman and vice chairs Abigail Black Elbaum, Mark Gallogly and Wanda M. Holland Greene, who also must appear before the committee on Sept. 4.<\/span><\/p>\n

Also on Wednesday, Foxx joined<\/a> Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), chair of the House Oversight and Accountability Committee, in a letter to Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen repeating a request<\/a> from May 14 asking for suspicious activity reports about groups identified as organizing pro-Hamas campus protests.<\/span><\/p>\n

Four groups named in the letter that have been identified are the Westchester Political Action Committee, the People\u2019s Forum, Jewish Voice for Peace and Samidoun.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cConsidering the serious nature of recent illegal and antisemitic events related to entities named in this investigation, it is imperative that Treasury immediately cooperate and provide the requested documents,\u201d Foxx and Comer wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n
