Last week, a Republican-led House committee summoned the leaders of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania and MIT to Capitol Hill for a scalding critique of their efforts to address antisemitism on their campuses since the eruption of the Israel-Gaza war.

During the hearing, Penn\\u2019s president Liz Magill \\u2013 and the other university presidents \\u2013 declined to state plainly that a call for genocide against Jews would violate the university\\u2019s code of conduct. 

Magill told Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) it would violate the school\\u2019s code of conduct \\u201cif the speech turns into conduct, it can be harassment. Yes.\\u201d When pressed by Stefanik, Magill said: \\u201cIt is a context-dependent decision, congresswoman.\\u201d

Education reporter Hannah Natanson joins \\u201cPost Reports\\u201d to discuss what the questions raised in the committee hearing and the push for Magill\\u2019s removal mean for campuses across the nation, and why the stakes are so high.
