House Republicans subpoena Harvard for 'unacceptable' response to antisemitism probe

House Republicans subpoena Harvard for "unacceptable" response to antisemitism probe.

The House Education and the Workforce Committee subpoenaed Harvard University for obstructing its weekslong antisemitism investigation.

In an unprecedented fashion, the Republican-led education committee subpoenaed a university for the first time in its more than 150-year history, according to a spokesperson.

The committee sent subpoenas to Harvard Corporation Senior Fellow Penny Pritzker, Interim President Dr. Alan Garber and Harvard Management Company's Chief Executive Officer N.P. Narvekar for failing to produce "priority documents" related to the probe, which started days after the committee heard "concerning" testimony from the presidents of three prominent universities during a December hearing, according to the committee.

Harvard has been given a new deadline of March 4 at 5:00 p.m. to submit key materials related to all antisemitic acts or incidents since Jan. 1, 2021, according to the subpoena.
