Elise Stefanik Announces 'Poisoned Ivies' Book Targeting Elite Universities

The House GOP leader sets an April 7, 2026 release through Threshold Editions to advance a campus overhaul agenda.

Overview

  • Stefanik says the book exposes far-left indoctrination, division, and moral rot on elite campuses, echoing language in the publisher’s description.
  • Threshold Editions, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, is slated to publish Poisoned Ivies on April 7, 2026.
  • The account draws on her Dec. 5, 2023 congressional hearing on campus antisemitism that preceded the resignations of Harvard’s Claudine Gay and Penn’s Liz Magill, with Columbia’s Minouche Shafik also stepping down months later.
  • She says it will propose remedies such as restricting foreign funding of U.S. universities and removing DEI litmus tests from admissions and faculty hiring.
  • Stefanik presents the project as shaping higher-education policy debates heading into 2026, and she has not announced a campaign for New York governor while continuing congressional oversight on the issue.
