A Republican-led House committee is planning to hold a hearing next week scrutinizing D.C. officials for not clearing a pro-Palestinian encampment at George Washington University. Why it matters: It's part of a larger effort by House Republicans to crack down on the demonstrations erupting at college campuses across the country.

The House is voting on the Antisemitism Awareness Act on Wednesday afternoon amid unrest on college campuses. The bill, which was introduced by a bipartisan group of lawmakers, requires the Department of Education to use the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition of antisemitism when enforcing federal anti-discrimination laws.

House Republicans on Tuesday called for the immediate resignation of Columbia University President Dr. Minouche Shafik, saying she has “lost complete control” of her campus amid growing pro-Palestinian protests.
