Amy Wax, the controversial University of Pennsylvania law professor, addressed more than 150 college professors from around the country, aiming to gain their support as Penn decides whether she should be sanctioned for racist remarks.was due to affirmative action. She denied being homophobic or bigoted at a panel, saying she didn’t necessarily agree with all the arguments she made and they weren’t directed at an openly gay colleague who was in attendance.
“The goal and effect of these charges is to demolish, to totally gut the protections for extramural free speech and free faculty expression and to drive dissenters like me out of the academy,” she said Wednesday during a Q&A hosted by the Philadelphia-based Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression, a group that advocates for free speech and has taken interest in her case.The event was an opportunity for Wax to address allegations made against her and seek support from academic peers.
It’s not clear if a groundswell of faculty support for Wax would sway Penn to drop the process — the law school declined to comment — or just how effective the Q&A was at winning people over.
