CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (WBZ NewsRadio) — A house committee said it subpoenaed Harvard University on Feb. 16 as part of its investigation into the school's alleged toleration of antisemitism on campus.
The investigation came after Hamas' Oct. 7 attack on Israel prompted demonstrations from pro-Palestinian student groups at several elite universities, including Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Harvard University issued a statement saying the university has turned over "more than 3,500" pages of documents to the committee for use in their multiple investigations.
"While subpoenas were unwarranted, Harvard remains committed to cooperating with the committee and will continue to provide additional materials, while protecting the legitimate privacy, safety and security concerns of our community," the statement said.
In a press release, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx called the documents "insufficient."
"If Harvard is truly committed to combating antisemitism, it has had every opportunity to demonstrate its commitment with actions, not words," the press release said.
