The Senators also reiterated that the department must ensure taxpayer dollars do not fund antisemitic activities on college campuses. “Many Jewish and pro-Israel students have felt unsafe in their institutions of higher education, especially following Hamas’ attack on Israel,” wrote Crapo and Risch. “While we were already concerned about antisemitism on college campuses, the events of the last month have made it clear the Department owes both the Senate and the American people answers as to whether taxpayer dollars are in anyway funding these antisemitic programs, speakers, or activities. In addition, it owes parents an explanation for how it is protecting their kids and their freedom of speech and religion.” Given the growing number and increased severity of antisemitic behavior following Hamas’ attack on Israel, Crapo and Risch are calling for an immediate response from Secretary Cardona. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-08T01:01:09Z |
