Harvard is kowtowing to Communist China and as a senior member of the House Education and the Workforce Committee I will continue working to root out foreign control over our college campuses. We cannot allow American institutions of higher education to serve as tools for Communist China to carry out its transnational repression. I look forward to working with Chairman Moolenaar and Chairwoman Foxx to hold Harvard accountable and to end Communist China\u2019s infiltration of American universities,\u201d said Congresswoman Elise Stefanik.\n\n\"This is yet another example of Harvard\u2019s appallingly unequal treatment of protestors based on the speech they support. Harvard is punishing brave students who spoke out against the CCP\u2019s human rights abuses while not only letting the student who assaulted them off scot-free but also handing him an apology. The American higher education system needs to wake up to the Chinese Communist Party\u2019s influence on our nation\u2019s campuses and protect students who speak out against the CCP, not punish them for standing up to bullies,\" said Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party Chairman John Moolenaar.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T21:57:20Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://stefanik.house.gov/2024/10/statement-on-communist-chinese-party-infiltration-at-harvard-university/2dab8ecd-f933-45d7-9a55-cd76f5e4fb3b"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3632008340209723, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
