by Kevin Kiley<\/p>\n

The President of the University of Pennsylvania has resigned following her disgraceful testimony before our committee last week. The hearing is being described as the \u201cWaterloo\u201d for campus wokeness and a \u201ctipping point\u201d for our wayward universities.<\/p>\n

The fate of Harvard\u2019s President will perhaps be decided today. Elise Stefanik and I have\u00a0made it clear<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that anything short of termination is unacceptable; 70 Members of Congress have now joined us. Tomorrow, I\u2019m giving a major speech in the House on repairing America\u2019s universities.<\/p>\n

As an initial step, last Thursday the House passed a bill I sponsored called the DETERRENT Act. This legislation will stop China and other foreign adversaries from continuing to gain influence through secretly funding our universities and dictating their curricula.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Sac Bee reports my Floor Speech fact-checking Newsom took up \u201cfour single-spaced\u00a0pages<\/span><\/a>\u201d in the Congressional Record. (I could have filled a volume.) The\u00a0video<\/span><\/a>\u00a0is now my most widely watched on YouTube and is spreading our warning about Newsom nationwide.<\/p>\n

Yet even in the last week, Newsom\u2019s failures have grown more extreme. After he boasted to Hannity earlier this year that California had an \u201coperating surplus, the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst just announced we\u2019re facing a staggering $68 billion.<\/p>\n

At the same time, Newsom has successfully lobbied Biden for another $3.1 billion for High-Speed Rail. While I helped deny\u00a0HSR funding<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in the House Appropriations bill, Biden nevertheless has decided to keep the biggest boondoggle in U.S. history on life support.<\/p>\n

Finally, Biden\u2019s CDC Director is refusing to rule out another child mask mandate. Fortunately,\u00a0my amendment<\/span><\/a>\u00a0to stop such a mandate passed in the House for Head Start. As for the CDC, we are preparing an investigation into their baffling failures with respect to the secret Chinese bio lab.<\/p>\n
