Shapiro spoke with The Daily Pennsylvanian and other reporters, repeating his condemnation of Magill's comments about genocide of Jewish people to Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.).
In a statement provided to the DP, Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.) wrote that the committee will use its "full Congressional authority" to hold Penn accountable for antisemitism on campus.
During the hearing, Magill said it was "context dependent" when asked whether individuals calling for the genocide of Jewish people violate Penn’s code of conduct.
House Republican leadership hosted a press conference on Tuesday with Jewish college students ahead of Congressional testimony from leaders in higher education about antisemitism on college campuses.
In her opening statement, Magill focused on “essential” immediate actions that Penn is undertaking, including increased security and the formation of an antisemitism task force.
Students filed the lawsuit under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and allege that Penn "subjects them to a pervasively hostile educational environment."
On Sunday night, demonstrators gathered outside the Goldie location in Rittenhouse Square, chanting, "Goldie, Goldie, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide" as they marched along Walnut Street.
The joint rally — which was hosted with the Coalition to Save the UC Townhomes — featured speakers sharing the organizations’ shared stances against gentrification and occupation.
The panelists discussed the cancellation of progressive Jewish group Penn Chavurah's screening of "Israelism" and the Palestine Writes Literature Festival.
The screening was followed by a Q&A session with the film's producer who shared their own process with the documentary and answered questions from Penn community members.
The AAUP statement comes a day after Penn Chavurah and IfNotNow Philly hosted a rally in Penn Commons where dozens of students protested the University’s refusal to allow for the screening of “Israelism.”
