Today, a group of higher education leaders found themselves under the congressional spotlight, where they were rigorously questioned by Republican lawmakers regarding the persistent issue of antisemitism on college campuses.

Among the most pointed exchanges was that between Republican Representative Burgess Owens from Utah and Georgetown University’s interim president, Robert Groves. Owens posed a provocative question about the university’s stance on hate speech by inquiring whether the KKK would be permitted to speak on campus.

“It’s a reasonable inquiry,” Owens argued, suggesting that the rhetoric surrounding the ‘free Palestine’ movement bears a disturbing resemblance to the sentiments expressed by white supremacist groups.

Here’s a highlight from the transcript shared by the Stu Studio on Twitter/X:

[Rep. Burgess Owens] put a straightforward question to Georgetown President Robert Groves:

“Would you allow a member of the KKK who wished the deaths of Black Americans to speak at Georgetown?”

“No.”

Owens pressed further: “If Georgetown would disallow white supremacist bigots, why then does it allow Palestinian antisemitic bigots invited by faculty or students?”

Groves struggled to provide a substantial response, opting instead for vague comments about the importance of diverse viewpoints.

For those interested, you can view the exchange below:

Additionally, The Georgetown Voice reported on Groves’ comments regarding antisemitism at Georgetown:

In response to inquiries, Groves highlighted instances where Georgetown took disciplinary action against alleged antisemitic behavior. Representative Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) pointed to a tweet from Georgetown Chair of Islamic Civilization, Jonathan A.C. Brown, which included a statement wishing for a symbolic strike by Iran. Following this incident, a university spokesperson confirmed that Brown had been removed from his position as Chair of the Department of Arabic and Islamic Studies but retains his role as Alwaleed bin Talal Chair of Islamic Civilization in the SFS. Groves stated that Brown has been placed on leave pending further review.

This incident underscores a critical issue in higher education: the failure of university leaders to effectively address hate speech and antisemitism, allowing it to proliferate unchecked. The question remains: why did these institutions hesitate to take decisive action when the warning signs were evident?
