Chair Walberg Statement on Court Denial of Mahmoud Khalil’s Request for a Temporary Restraining Order

Today, Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg (R-MI) released the following statement after a district court judge denied Mahmoud Khalil’s request for a temporary restraining order against the Committee’s request for disciplinary records from Columbia University:

“This is a victory for credible oversight. An injunction would interfere with a congressional investigation and handicap the functioning of the legislative branch of government under Article I of the Constitution. The work to investigate antisemitism on our nation’s college campuses and develop legislative solutions will continue. Our Committee will not sit by idly as a wave of antisemitic threats flood our colleges and universities and interfere with students’ education.”
