The leadership of the University of Pennsylvania's faculty senate condemned efforts to"intimidate" the university as a number of high-profile donors have cut ties with the Ivy League school.
Donors, including former U.S. Ambassador to Russia and China Jon Huntsman and Estee Lauder heir Ron Lauder, have closed their checkbooks to the school following the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks by Hamas on Israel.The terrorist attacks killed more than 1,400 people in Israel, while at least 4,000 have been killed in Israel's military response, according to local authorities. The donors have accused the school and university President Liz Magill of failing to confront antisemitism on campus.
The Thursday statement by the faculty senate tri-chairs contained an explicit commitment to free expression and academic freedom while eschewing the notion that institutional donations could sway academic discourse. Latest from @Penn: An incredible Faculty Senate statement in which the professors tell Penn donors & alums they can take their money and shove it, all with a subtle vibe of "you Jews can't manipulate us with your money." Penn alums, why would you give to this broken institution? pic.twitter.
"Academic freedom is at the heart of our educational and research missions, and we demand that it remain free from internal or external pressure or coercion," they said.
