Oh it’s a blow. Huntsman has donated over forty million to Penn and Rowan fifty million. These are not sums to sniff at.


They are when your endowment is over $20 billion and there are thousands of kids competing to pay whatever you choose to charge every year.


Can’t speak for Harvard but for Penn in particular huntsman is one of its longest and closely related donors for decades. It closing its coffers to penn is very symbolic. It goes beyond just money. I won’t be surprise if it leads to a leadership shakeup.


I agree it's symbolic. The large donors are going to realize that they gave so much that they are no longer necessary. Schools like Penn and Harvard have endowments so large that they don't actually need donations anymore. They love donations and will bend admissions backwards to accomodate donors, but they no longer actually need them enough to change policy


I think you underestimate that these schools don’t function in a silo. Their prestige stems from the ties and relations they have with the movers and shakers of the world, many who are withdrawing their support.


The lead story about this on CNN right now is the Wexner foundation cutting ties with Harvard. How much prestige is associated with taking money from an Epstein client?

It is a surreal thing to watch in real time. All the propaganda and intentional misinformation re: a non-existent day of jihad - clearly meant to stir fear. Meanwhile, ultra right extremists murdered a Palestinian boy and his family.

And here, the focus is on 18 year olds on college campuses, as if that is the real threat. Israel is currently imprisoning people based on social media likes. And here we think terrorists are the ones engaged in peaceful protests on college campuses.



What is crazy is how higher education has failed our young that they would support terrorism in the name of oppression. And these higher education institutions are culpable as they are shaping what is supposed to be future leadership for our country.


Agree.
This man is one of them. He is a professor at Cornell. When I first saw this clip, I thought it was taken out of context. But, it wasn't.
I searched for more information. He was indeed addressing the attack on Israel. His justification for his comments is unacceptable.

Asides from Wexner, I assure you these schools will be put out if the hedge funds and law firms of the world stopped giving their monetary support and hiring their students. That was part of their draw. Easy to move funds to somewhere like MIT or university of Chicago

The hiring would matter. That remains to be seen. The idiots front and center are getting black balled, but there is no indication that is happening to the average Wharton grad

It won’t happen to the average Wharton grad if they don’t do things like celebrate torture and rape. For those students from those thirty Harvard organizations good luck to them.

More about this man, including his further comments, in which he did not back down from praising Hamas:

This Berkeley law professor is cautioning law firms from hiring his own students who openly express their support of Hamas and have expressed antisemitism.



If you are a legal employer, when you interview students from Berkeley, Harvard, NYU or any other law school this year, ask them what organizations they belong to. Ask if they support discriminatory bylaws or other acts and resolutions blaming Jews and Israelis for the Hamas massacre. If a student endorses hatred, it isn’t only your right but your duty not to hire him. Do you want your clients represented by someone who condones these monstrous crimes?

No one is supporting terrorism. What kids have now learned is that Israel has committed war crimes for the past 75 years and has been aided and abetted by the US. People are finally saying no, just as the world did to SA apartheid. Good for them.
A Palestinian flag and a keffiyeh are not terrorism, no matter how hard you try to equate the two.


From seeing the rallies the past few days these students seem to conflating resistance with the atrocities that just happened. They are the ones that have failed in nuances thinking and have gone full circle in supporting isis like actors.


Maybe you guys should stop trying to scapegoat the 18-21 year old college students and point fingers at the political leaders and adults in the room who let this happened. I'm usually not shocked by the propaganda campaigns but this attempt to shift blame to children is something else. Who is at fault? Not them. So take a long hard look and figure out why you're trying to deflect media attention.


Why don't we blame the education system that does not seem to produce critical thinkers?

But playing SJW in college before becoming a UMC professional is a time honored tradition dating back to the 60s radicals

I'm starting to see the logic in DeSantis getting rid of departments that produce nothing but this particular type of idiot

It’s an issue at a place like Penn, which outside of Wharton, is really nothing special.

You guys are actual fascists. You can see that, right? It is crazy to think that in the year 2023 we have entire industries, media elites, CEOs and the rich and wealthy of DCUM trying to blackball students and activists who believe that it is bad to blow up 2 million Palestinians. Honestly, the thought police here is next level. You guys scare the bejesus out of me. So much for your mantra of Jews being the persecuted class. That's complete BS

I am ok with people protesting for the rights of Palestinians. I am not ok with people celebrating an event where there was mass murder of women and children and kidnappings and framing it as liberation. Yes people with a moral compass like that deserve to be blackballed. Isn’t that resistance? To stand up for what is right?

What would you say if it was people espousing anti-black rhetoric?
