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."
The newly announced programs — Conversations for Community and Dinners Across Differences — will offer meals free of charge for Penn community members, allowing them to discuss issues of interest.
A year and a half since Magill’s first Convocation address, many students, faculty, and alumni told the DP that they no longer feel that free speech and productive disagreement are possible on campus.
"This moment of challenge is exactly the time to recommit to our ambitions for the future and to further our connections as a community," Magill wrote in the email.
