Two days after Hamas's deadly attack on Israel last year, senior administrators at Harvard University wrestled with how to respond. Drafting a public statement, they edited out the word violent to describe the attack, when a dean complained that it sounded like assigning blame.
The internal debate among Harvard leaders including Claudine Gay, then the school's president, played out furiously in emails and text messages that were released in a report on Thursday by the Republican-led House Committee on Education and the Workforce.
The report accuses the schools' leadership of permitting rampant antisemitism as pro-Palestinian students organized demonstrations at campuses across the country. What is clear is that administrators struggled to find consensus on delicate moral judgments.
