Ivy Anti-Semitism Takes Center Stage.
“The walls appear to be caving in on the University of Pennsylvania’s president, Liz Magill, who faces scathing criticism over her performance at a House hearing earlier this week.
Prominent donor Ross Stevens threatened to claw back a $100 million donation. The university’s board of trustees held an emergency meeting Thursday. And the powerful Wharton Board of Advisors that leads the university’s prominent business school called for a leadership change at the university.
Magill remained president after the hastily arranged board gathering concluded Thursday, a source familiar with the proceedings told CNN. But Magill faced a rebellion from Wharton’s Board of Advisors, and a growing coalition of donors, politicians and business leaders who denounced her testimony.”
The rise of anti-Semitism and Islamaphobia has swept the nation and the World as people take sides in the Middle East Conflict. The turn of events are disheartening for sure and point to a protracted conflict with no signs of resolution in the near future. Most Americans associate the Middle East with conflict and violence and the region lives up to these long held assumptions of a land with no peace.
