Stefanik, Gottheimer announced bipartisan congressional caucus to tackle Jew-hatred on campus

Reps. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) and Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) have established a new bipartisan congressional caucus to address antisemitism on college campuses. The “Combating Antisemitism on College Campuses Caucus” was announced during a visit to Vanderbilt University, where they discussed combating Jew-hatred with six university leaders. Gottheimer stated, “Since Oct. 7, Jewish students on too many campuses have been harassed, intimidated and made to feel like strangers in their own school.” The caucus aims to ensure colleges protect Jewish students, faculty, and staff, and will coordinate oversight, advocate for federal legislation, and highlight successful practices. Stefanik added, “We are committed to saving American higher education for the next generation.”
