A new House probe into campus antisemitism reveals college leadership across the country collectively failed to hold the line on bigotry and refused to contain chaos on their campuses.

It’s time these administrators are held to account. All students suffered for their failures through the disruptions.

The 100-plus page report is the result of a year-long investigation by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. It draws on more than 400,000 pages of subpoenaed documents from colleges and universities.

The report alleges that school leadership across the country systemically prioritized the demands of pro-Palestine protesters and failed en masse to protect Jewish community members on campus in the wake of October 7th.

“Each incident last year escalated over the previous one as emboldened students realized there were no consequences to their actions,” Ari Shrage, president of the Columbia Jewish Alumni Association, told The Post. 

“A year later, nothing has changed except one thing: the inmates now know they run the asylum and know there won’t be consequences. “

The report suggested that Harvard’s administrators intentionally cut descriptions of October 7th as “violence” and any references to Israeli hostages in their official statement after the atrocity — possibly in an effort to appease pro-Palestine activists who took over their campus chanting antisemitic slogans while Jewish students were still mourning.

The phrase “we denounce this act of terror” appeared in an earlier draft but was nixed from the official statement, according to the report.

“We’re very concerned when we see antisemitism raise its ugly head on campuses,” Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) previously told The Post. “That is not a good sign in our country, and it’s not good for students.”

Schools wouldn’t be in the position of having to make comments on international politics — if not for their extensive track record of making frivolous, contentious, and self-important statements on just about every political issue of the day.

By taking their time in responding to October 7th — and publishing weak statements at that — Jewish community members understandably felt let down by their administrators’ selective lack of professed outrage.

The report additionally alleged Claudine Gay asked the Harvard Corporation Senior Fellow not to consider “from the river to the sea” hate speech.

If the school had long held the line and tolerated offensive speech historically in the name of free speech, that would be understandable. But, in fact, Harvard has consistently been rated the nation’s worst school for free speech. 

For a school that goes to such great lengths to make sure that nobody is misgendered and everyone uses proper pronouns, shrugging at “from the river to the sea” is revealingly inconsistent.

The committee also claims administrators conceded time and again to kids in the encampment.

They point to Northwestern University as an especially egregious example. Administrators there, according to the report, entertained demands from students in their campus encampment that they hire an “anti-Zionist” rabbi and stop buying Sabra brand hummus for the cafeteria on campus.

At Columbia, where I am a part-time student and covered the encampment debacle on the ground, I was astounded to see just how inconsistently lenient the school was with kids who were breaking the rules — and the law — in the name of Palestine.

After forcibly clearing out an illegal encampment with NYPD officers (something the school was well within their rights to do), administrators did absolutely nothing when another, larger, encampment popped up almost immediately in an adjacent quadrant of the lawn.

What message does that bombastic, inconsistent enforcement send?

That’s the sort of institutional cowardice that breeds activist brats like the Columbia students who violently broke into a school building and illegally occupied it — then had the gall to demand the school supply them free food and water inside Hamilton Hall; describing their own predicament as a “humanitarian crisis” as people in Gaza they were nominally demonstrating for were literally dying.

“Do you want students to die of dehydration and starvation,” one keffiyeh-clad student demonstrator (who is now teaching a class at Columbia) had the nerve to say at a theatrical press conference.

That sort of unfathomable entitlement is possible only in an environment of leniency and enablement, where students have long been praised more for activism than critical thinking.

To double down on their institutional feebleness, the report alleges many schools allegedly failed to punish students who engaged in antisemitic conduct.

Some particularly egregious offenders called out by the Committee include Rutgers, where Jewish students who spoke out about harassment were allegedly disciplined themselves, and UCLA, UC Berkeley, Yale, and MIT, where students in the schools’ respective encampments emerged with little to no consequences.

“For over a year, the American people have watched antisemitic mobs rule over so-called elite universities, but what was happening behind the scenes is arguably worse,” Foxx said in a statement about the report.

“University administrators, faculty, and staff were cowards who fully capitulated to the mob and failed the students they were supposed to serve.”

For years, colleges have been on a tirade against hate speech, offensive words, micro-agressions, misgendering — whatever the latest “trigger” of the day may be. They set up sensitivity trainings and bias response hotlines and kangaroo courts to adjudicate any “offense” taken on campus.

But, in the wake of October 7th, most leaders threw up their hands and let student activists and agitators have a field day, slinging around antisemitic slogans and harassing Jewish peers in the name of justice.

The Committee is right to call out this double standard. And Jewish students are right to feel betrayed by it.
