Harvard University’s leadership has failed to implement a spate of recommendations related to curbing antisemitism on campus, according to a report released Thursday by the US House Committee on Education and the Workforce.

According to the report, Harvard’s Antisemitism Advisory Group (AAG) presented university leaders with recommendations in December 2023. These recommendations included enforcing zero tolerance for classroom disruptions, protecting learning environments, greater accountability for student organizations, combating antisemitic speech, and reviewing the rigor of classes and programs with antisemitic content. The Committee on Education and the Workforce said that this “robust set of significant recommendations … were not made public and remain unimplemented.”

Former university president Claudine Gay established the AAG in October, in the weeks following a deadly attack by Hamas militants targeting Israeli civilians. This initial attack and Israel’s subsequent crushing military response in Gaza have stoked tensions worldwide, with responses running the gamut from two genocide cases before the International Court of Justice to the proliferation of international student-protest encampments. Against this backdrop, advocacy groups have warned of surging antisemitism on campus. Hillel, a Jewish campus organization, reported this week that since October 7, there has been a 700% increase in antisemitic incidents across US campuses.

In announcing the AAG’s formation, Gay said: “The Advisory Group will work closely with me, guided by Provost Alan Garber and with the help of the School deans, to develop a robust strategy for confronting antisemitism on campus.”

In January 2024, Gay resigned from the presidency following controversial testimony before the US Congress and subsequent plagiarism allegations.
