Stefanik commented on recent events at Ivy League schools, stating that “Graduates burning their diplomas at Ivy League schools is a powerful symbol of how far our education system has fallen.” She expressed concern that these institutions are now producing students who are “consumed by DEI indoctrination.”
Later the same day, she addressed revelations concerning former Governor Andrew Cuomo’s administration. She described these as “a betrayal of public trust at the highest levels.” Rep.
