Northwestern University Accused of Stonewalling House Investigation of Anti-Israel Activity
“Northwestern produced a mere 13 pages of documents responsive to the committee’s priority requests that were not already public”
Do the folks at Northwestern think they’re above the law? Isn’t that a threat to democracy?
FOX News reports:
Northwestern University accused of stonewalling anti-Israel unrest investigation by House panel
Congressional investigators are accusing Northwestern University’s president of stonewalling their investigation into the university’s response to anti-Israel unrest on its campus.
Rep. Virginia Foxx, R-N.C., the chairwoman of the House Education and Workforce Committee, sent a letter to Northwestern University leaders on Friday, slamming their failure to respond to lawmakers’ questions sent nearly a month ago.
“Unfortunately, rather than being cooperative and transparent, Northwestern has obstructed the committee’s investigation,” Foxx wrote.
Foxx told Fox News the lack of response by Northwestern suggested the university hasn’t been taking the threat of antisemitism on its campus seriously and that Jewish students there aren’t any safer today than they were a month ago.
“We do not want to see these students going back on the campuses where they don’t feel safe, where they are not safe. We have to get to the bottom of this,” the congresswoman said.
The House committee launched its investigation after a group of students and faculty held a week of demonstrations on campus that included an encampment on Deering Meadow in late April, which ended after university officials reached a negotiated agreement with the protesters.
Northwestern President Michael Schill defended those negotiations at a hearing on Capitol Hill on May 23, 2024, claiming he didn’t give in to any of the protesters’ demands, while also refusing to answer many of lawmakers’ questions.
Two weeks later, Foxx said school officials still were refusing to cooperate.
“Northwestern produced a mere 13 pages of documents responsive to the committee’s priority requests that were not already public,” Foxx wrote. “Despite the committee’s specific request for records such as notes, summaries, and recordings that would offer real insight into the board’s deliberations, Northwestern failed to produce any such responsive documents or certify that they do not exist.”

In March 2021, Evanston became the first city in the United States to pay reparations to African American residents (or their descendants) who were victims of unfair housing practices. The city council of the city voted 8 to 1 to approve the reparations which consisted of a $25,000 payment to African American households that can be used as down payments on their homes, house payments or for home repairs. This was the initial payment, with plans to distribute $10 million in reparations payments to Black residents over the next decade.[21][22][23]
In August 2021, Evanston became one of the first cities to approve a pilot project providing a guaranteed income to select residents, drawing upon a combination of public funds and a partnership with Northwestern University.[24]
