UPenn donor demands boycott, president’s resignation over Israel speech controversy.
The Latest Wave of Terrorist Violence: A Wake-Up Call for the World
The recent wave of terrorist violence in Israel has shaken the world and forced many to confront the harsh reality of evil. It is no longer possible to ignore the fact that those who proudly proclaim their hatred and ambition are nothing short of monsters.
This wake-up call has sparked a profound shift in attitudes, as individuals come face to face with the truth of good and evil and adjust their behaviors accordingly. Opposing evil requires a collective effort, and there are encouraging signs that some leaders are stepping forward to confront the nurturing of evil within our corrupted cultural institutions.
Marc Rowan, the billionaire CEO of Apollo Global Management, is one such leader. He is speaking out against his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania, for failing to stand up for Israel on campus and allowing anti-Semitism to thrive.
“The university’s president and board of trustees chairman must resign,” Rowan wrote in an opinion piece for the student newspaper. He also called on donors to withhold funds until the university addresses the toxic messaging it tolerates and even promotes.
Rowan appeared on CNBC’s Squawk Box to discuss his demands and shed light on why he took such a strong stance.
A Powerful Voice Against Anti-Semitism
Andrew Ross Sorkin, the host of Squawk Box, introduced Rowan as not only a graduate of the prestigious Ivy League university but also as the chairman of the board of advisers for its Wharton Business School, which counts President Donald Trump and his son Donald Trump Jr. among its alumni.
Rowan highlighted the alarming fact that while campuses condemn microaggressions, they have become breeding grounds for violence and anti-Semitism. He specifically pointed out the University of Pennsylvania’s support for the Palestine Writes gathering, which featured well-known anti-Semites and focused on spreading hate and racism.
In his opinion piece, Rowan described the event as a betrayal of the supposed focus on Palestinian arts, culture, and poetry, as it instead targeted Jews, Israel, and Zionism.
During the CNBC interview, Rowan criticized President Elizabeth McGill for failing to condemn the hatred displayed at the event, even if it was allowed to proceed based on free speech principles.
“President McGill is just not capable of exercising moral leadership here because she feels academic pressure, peer pressure,” Rowan said.
Rowan also accused university officials of attempting to silence dissent by asking critical trustees to leave the board, rather than fostering an environment of free speech.
The University of Pennsylvania stood by its president and chairman, rejecting Rowan’s demands. However, Rowan’s call for consequences has struck a chord with many.
A Strategy to Hold Universities Accountable
Rowan’s strategy of encouraging donors to write symbolic $1 checks instead of their usual contributions aims to send a clear message to university officials. By highlighting the impact on donors, he hopes to bring consequences home for the actions these institutions encourage.
Despite their wealth, left-leaning institutions like Ivy League schools rely on tax dollars and donors. If universities continue to cultivate radical stances that alienate decent human beings, they need to feel the squeeze from donors.
Hamas has shown the world the face of evil, and its supporters, from Harvard to Black Lives Matter, should not be allowed to spread hate without facing repercussions.
