A Senate committee has demanded that Columbia University provide extensive information about Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), a group that has been at the center of protests on campus over Israel and Gaza. The committee is seeking all records related to SJP and its on-campus activities. The demand comes as part of an investigation into alleged antisemitism within higher education. Meanwhile, two clinical professors of law at Northwestern University have filed a similar lawsuit after the House Committee on Education and Workforce requested documents from the university about the professors' work, claiming that the request violates their First Amendment rights.
