OPINION:
Words have consequences. And the laissez-faire handling of Jewish students being targeted and harassed at the University of Pennsylvania rightly cost both Penn President Liz Magill and Penn board of trustees chair Scott Bok their coveted positions (“Heads roll at Penn as Magill, Bok resign after disastrous House hearing on antisemitism,” Web, Dec. 9).
Money talks, especially to the tune of $100 million. The $100 million gift offered to the university from Ross Stevens, founder and chief executive of Stone Ridge Holdings Group, and other donations are worth more than those faculty members on the wrong side of humanity.
It is in the best interest of Penn that Ms. Magill resigned for her failure to protect Jewish students and condemn antisemitism on the university’s campus. Harvard President Claudine Gay should be next.
