The Republican chair of the House Education and Workforce Committee announced subpoenas Friday against Harvard University officials over what she said was a failure to produce certain documents related to the panel's antisemitism investigation.
Rep. Virginia Foxx, of North Carolina, said the subpoenas were issued to Harvard Corporation senior fellow Penny Pritzker, interim Harvard President Alan Garber and Harvard Management Company CEO N.P. Narvekar.
Foxx said that so far, around 40% of the documents provided by Harvard were already publicly available.
“Last week, I made it very clear to Harvard that the documents it had produced up to that point were severely insufficient,” Foxx said in a statement Friday.
The documents say the committee “formally initiated an investigation into Harvard’s handling of on-campus antisemitism” on Jan. 9.
