The University of Pennsylvania and Harvard, two Ivy League schools, are facing a donor revolt as prominent financiers cut off support over their response to antisemitism and the recent Hamas terrorist attacks.
Ron Lauder, the heir to the Estee Lauder cosmetics company, similarly told Magill that he would"reexamine" his financial support for UPenn, citing a campus climate of antisemitism that included a “Palestine Writes Literature Festival” last month that Lauder had personally requested that Magill cancel, according to the New York Post. Major Penn donor David Magerman also cited the event to explain why he was ceasing donations to the school.
At Harvard, the nonprofit Wexner Foundation was the most high-profile donor to date to announce an end to its financial support. The foundation accused the school of"tiptoeing" around the issue of antisemitism and Hamas after 31 student groups published a statement blaming Israel for the deadly attacks.
In Magill's case, the outrage focused more on the institution's refusal to condemn the"Palestine Writes Literature Festival.” Magill has issued several statements condemning Hamas, beginning on Oct. 10, three days after the attacks.
