There's a growing conflict on the University of Pennsylvania campus that involves both supporters of Israel and of Palestinians.
A billionaire donor is among those calling for the president of the University of Pennsylvania to resign after critics say she is not sending a strong enough message against anti-Semitism.Meanwhile, there's a growing conflict on campus involving both supporters of Israel and of Palestinians, each dissatisfied with the university president's response to the ongoing war.
"You have a whole group of students and faculty and allies who are Palestinian by cause and you've just denied their entire experience," said Palestinian student Nada Abuasi. It's a debate that was sparked by the Palestine Writes Literature Festival in late September. The festival included some speakers who had a history of making anti-Semitic remarks.
That statement comes too late for people like billionaire UPenn donor Marc Rowan who is calling for fellow donors to "close their checkbooks" and not make major donations to the university until Magill and the chair of the Board of Trustees both resign.It detailed the fact that trustees recently had two virtual conversations on the issue, Magill's response and an action plan moving forward.
