Full text of article:
The House Education and Workforce Committee threatened on Monday to subpoena #BowdoinCollege, accusing the school of failing to comply with the committee’s requests for information regarding #antisemitism on campus.
A letter from Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI), the committee chair, and Rep. Burgess Owens (R-UT), a subcommittee chair, states that the Maine liberal arts college failed to comply with the committee’s repeated requests for documentation regarding disciplinary action taken against those involved with an encampment on the school’s campus earlier this year, as well as all students disciplined for antisemitic incidents since Oct. 7, 2023.
The committee leaders provided a June 16 deadline for the documentation requested, and stated they would pursue subpoenas if the deadline is not met.
The letter states that “Bowdoin provided a narrative response that briefly summarized the administration’s conversations with the encampment participants, but it did not provide documents related to any disciplinary action, documents related to any understanding it reached to disband the encampment, or a list of student disciplinary or conduct cases relating to alleged antisemitic incidents or encampments.”
After being pressed further, the school provided a “a brief summary of Bowdoin’s actions addressing the encampment and noted that the College revoked the charter of Students for Justice in Palestine for the remainder of the 2024-2025 academic year and the next academic year.”
The school subsequently provided 225 pages of documents, including summaries of the school’s actions regarding the encampment, “a generalized summary of disciplinary measures taken against 66 students, and a summary of actions taken against #StudentsForJusticeInPalestine.”
According to the committee, the vast majority of the documents included were “publicly available policies and procedures, none of which are directly responsive to the Committee’s requests,” lacked the “individualized detail requested” or were public emails from administrators to the campus community about the encampment.

#Resist! Four Maine college presidents sign national letter decrying Trump education 'overreach'
Riley Board, Portland Press Herald, Maine
Tue, April 22, 2025"Four Maine higher education leaders have signed on to a letter accusing the Trump administration of 'unprecedented government overreach and political interference.'
"Safa Zaki of #BowdoinCollege, Garry Jenkins of #BatesCollege, David Greene of #ColbyCollege and James Herbert of the #UniversityOfNewEngland all added their names to the letter, published Tuesday by the American Association of Colleges and Universities. More than 230 presidents of colleges, universities and scholarly societies throughout the country have signed so far.
" 'We are open to constructive reform and do not oppose legitimate government oversight,' the letter reads. 'However, we must oppose undue government intrusion in the lives of those who learn, live and work on our campuses. We will always seek effective and fair financial practices, but we must reject the coercive use of public research funding.'
"Though the letter primarily represents private institutions, leaders from a handful of state colleges and universities signed on, including University of Massachusetts Amherst Chancellor Javier Reyes and Eastern Connecticut State University President Karim Ismaili. A spokesperson for the University of Maine system declined to comment.
"In recent months, the Trump administration has pulled or threatened to pull federal funding from higher education institutions that don't comply with his agenda on #StudentProtesters, admissions practices and #TransgenderAthlete policies.
"The administration has also revoked the visas of hundreds of international students. On Friday, the American Civil Liberties Union [#ACLU] of Maine filed a class-action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security [#DHS] and other agencies behind the visa revocations, asking that a judge restore the visas of any New England students who have had them wrongfully removed, and protecting future students from the same actions."

#BrunswickME - #BowdoinCollege students stand firm in support of detained #ProPalestine organizer at #ColumbiaUniversity
by WGME StaffSun, March 16th 2025
BRUNSWICK, Maine (WGME) -- "Pro-#Palestinian students at Bowdoin have no plans to shy away from speaking out after a pro-#Palestine student-organizer at Columbia was detained.
"#MahmoudKhalil, a permanent U.S. resident, was arrested a week ago after his involvement in protests at Columbia University.
"He's being held by immigration in Louisiana but has not been charged with a crime.
"Olivia Kenney, a student-organizer at Bowdoin, is currently in New York protesting for Khalil's freedom.
"She tells us his detainment and the expulsion of students across the country is not deterring students from taking action.
"'I am seeing people on campuses across the country and in New York continuing to rise to the occasion. I heard from some of the expelled students who were speaking yesterday and talking about how you can expel a student, but you can't remove their conviction, you cannot remove commitment,' Kenney said.
"Justice Department lawyers have argued the U.S. Government is seeking Khalil's removal because Secretary of State Marco Rubio has reasonable grounds to believe his activities or presence in the country could have 'serious adverse foreign policy consequences.'
"Rubio says the U.S. will likely revoke more student visas in the coming days."

On Great Fields by Robert C White is one of the best biographies I have ever read. The book goes beyond the heroism at Gettysburg and digs deep into motivations, personal and family life, friendships, and his idealism to paint a very full and clear (as well as can be over hundred years later) picture of a legit American Hero. #civilwar #gettysburg #littleroundtop #bowdoincollege #brunswickmaine #maine
