House Republicans launch investigation into federal funding for universities amid campus protests

House Republicans launch investigation into federal funding for universities amid campus protests (Associated Press)

WASHINGTON (AP) — House Republicans on Tuesday announced an investigation into the federal funding for universities where students have protested the Israel-Hamas war, broadening a campaign that has placed heavy scrutiny on how presidents at the nation’s most prestigious colleges have dealt with reports of antisemitism on campus.

Several House committees will be tasked with a wide probe that ultimately threatens to withhold federal research grants and other government support to the universities, placing another pressure point on campus administrators who are struggling to manage pro-Palestinian encampments, allegations of discrimination against Jewish students and questions of how they are integrating free speech and campus safety.

… working 24/7 to help Trump now. That piece of crap from Kentucky, McConnell was also well
aware of the Russian help for Trump in 2016 and kept that hidden too. I might be wrong but I swear
that I can smell the borscht coming off some of the demonstrators and most likely from both sides
too. Putin has been conducting a war on America for years and has recruited lackeys such as Trump,
Flynn, Stone, Ron Johnson, News Corp. (Fox), and others to help stir up shit to weaken America.
My ears perk up every time I hear some corespondent say something about, “and will these demonstration
hurt Biden in the election?”
