House hearing on campus antisemitism
University of California, Berkeley chancellor Dr. Rich Lyons, testifies at a Congressional hearing on antisemitism while a clock counts down time allotted to the questioning Representative, in Washington, D.C., U.S., on July 15, 2025. It is the latest in a series of House hearings on antisemitism at the university level, one that critics claim is a convenient way for Republicans to punish universities they consider too liberal or progressive, thereby undermining responses to hate speech and hate crimes.
