Major Democratic donor Penny Pritzker serves as chair of the Harvard University Board of Regents.
Billionaire Bill Ackman has called on Pritzker and the entire Harvard University board to resign following the resignation of Harvard University President Claudine Guy.
He criticized Pritzker and the board's decision to support Gay despite her disastrous testimony before the House Education Committee, where she failed to condemn students on campus calling for the genocide of Jews, as well as nearly 50 allegations of plagiarism against her.
Now, the House Education and Workforce Committee has issued subpoenas for Pritzker and other top school officials for their “consistent failure” to comply with an anti-Semitism investigation.
In January, Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) sent a letter to Pritzker and interim President Alan Garber on Tuesday, expressing “serious concerns about the inadequacy of Harvard’s response to anti-Semitism on campus” and demanding answers.
Harvard University had until last Wednesday to submit a set of “priority documents” to the committee, but it did not meet the deadline.
The New York Post reports:
“Harvard has repeatedly failed to meet the Committee's request within a reasonable time frame, despite being granted numerous accommodations, including being given the opportunity to submit production on a rolling basis, being offered multiple deadline extensions and obtaining priority documents identified by the Committee.” . Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) said in a letter accompanying the subpoenas directed to the three officials.
Fox accused the school of obstructing the investigation while tolerating anti-Semitism on campus.

Harvard University has so far provided the committee with more than 2,500 pages of documents, about 40% of which were already publicly available, but did not meet specific requests, according to Fox.
The committee chair said in a statement that she was “deeply disappointed” by Harvard's apparent procrastination, noting that what had been sent so far was “woefully inadequate.”
The subpoena requires the production of documents and communications described in the letter I am sending March 4, 2024.
