UPenn Loses a $100 Million Donation Over Its President's Kill All the Jews Trip-Up

University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill is learning that free speech has a cost. She, along with Claudine Gay and Sally Kornbluth, the presidents of Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, respectively, testified before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, where Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) asked all three women if calls for Jewish genocide constituted harassment. All three ladies gave waffled answers that were both cold and insipid to the more significant issue of the antisemitism facing Jewish students amid the war in Gaza.

A University of Pennsylvania donor is withdrawing a gift worth around $100 million to protest the school's response to antisemitism on campus.

The big picture: The final straw for Ross Stevens, founder and CEO of Stone Ridge Asset Management, was Tuesday's widely criticized congressional testimony by Penn president Liz Magill.

Details: The gift from Stevens, a Penn undergrad alum, was given in December 2017 to help establish a center for innovation in finance.

It was in the form of limited partnership units in Stone Ridge, with the current value estimated at around $100 million.

Stevens, in a letter from his lawyers to Penn, alleges that the school has violated the terms of the limited partnership agreement, including its anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies.

> Several of the big Ivy’s have billions in funding from trust funds.

The problem for them is that much of the money has strings attached. i.e. it can only be used for designated purposes and is not part of the general fund.

More alums need to follow suit.

That’s what I’ve been advocating as well. Best way to change their behavior is to impact the pocketbook. Cut them off from all revenue no matter how small.

correct

this is just plain old tyranny in a new wrapper

question for the president-

does a call for a genocide of blacks violate your code of coduct?

does a call for a genocide of gays violate your code of conduct?

does it depend on context?

This college wealth thing will last until the dems realize that they have taxed everything else, so it's time to tax the endowment funds these schools have built up.

It will be fun to watch. Almost as much fund as the government deciding that large NFP's like Planned Parenthood are really money-makers, and should lose the non-profit status. If the CEO can gat a large enough salary to buy a Lamborghini, there may be too much money to not let the the other grifters gat a slice of the pie.

She tried to walk it back

She talked in platitudes. However no one supporting genocide at U Penn will actually be expelled as long as she's in charge.

Walking back cowardice seldom works.

She, and the others, are hate filled racists and cowards.

Liquidate the boards. Fire ‘em all. Not one came forward except that one guy from UPenn.

Elite Unies are corrupt to the core. Re-boot. Failing that, I hope they all get hurt like Evergreen.

Anyone with a degree from any of these piles of ____ should be casually asked: “What was the hate and racist level when you were there?” Embarrass them so that they call the Unis in question.

I know! They’re all mouth-breathing conservative fascists who support limited government...

Maybe liberal Jews are waking up to the evil that they have supported for years

We all wish that, but progressivism is ingrained from their youth. Be anything but a conservative and if you dare become a Christian you are "disowned" by the family.
