Harvard’s Claudine Gay, Penn’s Liz Magill and MIT President Sally Kornbluth defended their actions before the House Education and the Workforce Committee on Tuesday. Committee chair Virginia Foxx, a North Carolina Republican, is holding the hearing to address why the college administrators “largely stood by, allowing horrific rhetoric to fester and grow” since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas.
“Problematic speech needs to be countered with other speech and with education, and we are doing that,” Kornbluth said in prepared testimony. “However, the right to free speech certainly does not extend to harassment, discrimination or incitement to violence in our community.”
