The U.S. Congress has ordered three Ivy League universities - Harvard, University of Pennsylvania and Columbia - to disclose all the Qatari donations they have received since January 2021. 

The subpoena of the institutions was done against the background of criticism of the Qatari influence on the universities and the increase in anti-Semitism on campuses. 

The chairman of the Labor and Welfare Committee of the House of Representatives, Virginia Fox, said that the goal is "to distinguish between what is innocent and what is bleeding into the campuses."
