"I want to thank the congresswoman for her moral clarity and important efforts to combat antisemitism on college campuses," Berman said.
At the meeting, Foxx and Berman discussed the importance of students coming forward and reporting incidents of physical or verbal intimidation on the basis of their religion.
"We want to root this out…and follow up with the school on what has happened," Foxx said.
Both urged students to alert campus police and report these incidents to the House Committee on Education and the Workforce. By documenting these events, the students can help turn individual experiences into
broader campus metrics, which can then be compared against peer universities and enable concerned university and national leaders to identify, study and combat the rising tide of antisemitism on college campuses.
