Harvard's president has apologized for her statements at a congressional hearing on antisemitism.
But a Jewish Alumni group said her comments reflected "Harvard's overall pattern of deflection."
The group added that requests for meetings about antisemitic incidents have been ignored.

A Harvard Jewish alumni group said that the university's president Claudine Gay's responses at Tuesday's congressional hearing on antisemitism were a reflection of the university's true attitude.
