Penn Donor Threatens to Rescind $100 Million Gift Unless President Is Ousted.

A major donor to the University of Pennsylvania, Ross Stevens, has threatened to withdraw a $100 million donation unless President Liz Magill is replaced. This comes as a congressional panel has launched an investigation into how antisemitism is addressed at Penn, Harvard University, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The controversy surrounding Magill intensified after she made remarks during a congressional hearing about antisemitism on college campuses that drew criticism from politicians, Jewish advocacy groups, and some alumni and donors. The investigation and donor demand pose challenges for the universities as they navigate the balance between free speech protections and student safety concerns. [Extracted from the article]
