Daniel Rosen has been particularly active in combating rising antisemitism on American college campuses. As a Harvard alumnus, he called on the university to take steps to address antisemitism on its campus, especially after the former president of Harvard resigned in the aftermath of her testimony in front of the U.S. House Education and Workforce Committee. Rosen proposed [4] Republican Senator Mitt Romney as a potential leader that could spearhead the university in light of these challenges, a call that was endorsed [5]by Democratic U.S. Senator John Fetterman. Moreover, Rosen responded [6] to Minouche Shafik, the President of Columbia University, after she published a piece which he believed downplayed the threats facing Jewish students on Columbia's campus.
