House Republicans intend to ramp up their oversight of colleges in an effort to “hold these universities accountable for their failure to protect Jewish students,” Speaker Mike Johnson announced Tuesday. Johnson said a coalition of six House committees will lead the scrutiny of universities’ federal funding and tax benefits. His office said in a news release that the committees will probe the international student visa program, claiming without evidence that it has let students “sympathetic to terrorist groups” attend U.S. colleges.
