LIVE: Wendy Raymond, Haverford College President, Testifies in Congressional Hearing on Antisemitism in Higher Education

The congressional hearing, titled “Beyond the Ivy League: Stopping the Spread of Antisemitism on American Campuses,” where President Wendy Raymond was questioned on allegations of antisemitism, saw heightened tensions between Washington leaders and Haverford College. Republican leaders pushed for Haverford to lose its federal funding, but Raymond remained steadfast, reiterating Haverford’s commitment to a positive campus environment and against all forms of discrimination. She denied to give the committee any direct answer regarding student disciplinary proceedings, though she offered a more definitive response on questions of whether calling for “the genocide of Jews” violates college policy.
