"Antisemitism Controversy Costs University of Pennsylvania $100 Million in Funding"
The University of Pennsylvania has lost a $100 million donation after its president, Liz Magill, testified about antisemitism on college campuses during a Congressional hearing. The donor, Ross Stevens, CEO of a financial services firm, was "appalled" by Magill's comments and stated that the university's permissive approach to hate speech and harassment against Jewish students violated their anti-discrimination and harassment practices. The university is now facing blowback, with calls for Magill's resignation and an official Congressional investigation. Two students have also filed a lawsuit against the school, alleging anti-Jewish hatred and discrimination.
