Countering Campus Antisemitism: A Conversation with Reps. Mike Lawler and Ritchie Torres

As anti-Israel protests on college campuses escalate nationally and create an increasingly hostile environment for Jewish students and faculty, how can Congress monitor the rise of antisemitism in academia, uphold free speech, and ensure the safety of all students? What role do Title VI protections play for institutions receiving federal funding? How does US–Middle East policy affect domestic policy?

Join Reps. Mike Lawler (R-NY) and Ritchie Torres (D-NY) for a bipartisan discussion with AEI’s Danielle Pletka on countering campus antisemitism, the representatives’ recent College Oversight and Legal Updates Mandating Bias Investigations and Accountability Act to empower the Department of Education on antisemitism monitoring, and how lawmakers should address the rising tide of antisemitism in society and politics.
