New York Congress members work to combat antisemitism on college campuses amid Columbia University unrest

New York legislators in Washington are urgently working to pass measures aimed at addressing antisemitism on college campuses amidst ongoing protests at Columbia University and other educational institutions nationwide.

On Friday, Republican Congressman Mike Lawler and Democratic Congressman Ritchie Torres jointly introduced legislation in response to the continuing demonstrations at Columbia University, which have fostered an environment many Jewish students perceive as unwelcoming and unsafe — and have included hate crimes.
