House Republicans subpoena Harvard brass in campus antisemitism inquiry

Request comes six weeks after lawmakers grilled school president Claudine Gay, who lost her job in aftermath of contentious hearing

Republicans in Congress have escalated their fight with Harvard University by issuing subpoenas to university leaders, six weeks after hearings into antisemitism on campus set in motion the resignation of Harvard's president, Claudine Gay.

Virginia Foxx, a Republican from North Carolina who heads the House education and workforce committee that held hearings into the issue last year, ordered Harvard's trustees to produce documents related to the issue.
