Congressional Committee to Investigate APA Over Allegations of Antisemitism
December 14, 2025 - 05:29
A congressional committee is set to investigate the American Psychological Association (APA) following alarming reports of antisemitism within the organization. Representative Tim Walberg has highlighted concerns raised by Jewish members of the APA, who have claimed they have faced harassment and ostracism from their peers due to their Jewish identity.
The allegations suggest a troubling environment for Jewish professionals within the APA, prompting lawmakers to take action. Walberg emphasized the importance of addressing these issues, stating that a thorough examination of the APA's practices and culture is necessary to ensure that all members can work in an inclusive and respectful atmosphere.
The inquiry aims to shed light on the reported discrimination and to hold accountable any individuals or systems that may be perpetuating such behavior. This investigation underscores the broader societal need to combat antisemitism and promote diversity and inclusion in professional organizations. The outcome of this probe could have significant implications for the APA and its members.
