"Business Leaders and Donors Demand Swift Action Against Antisemitism at UPenn"
Business leaders, including wealthy donors and technology executives, are pushing back against institutions over their stance on Israel. Some donors are withholding support from universities that they believe have shown a weak response to antisemitism, while technology executives are threatening to withdraw from the Web Summit conference due to comments made by the conference's CEO regarding Israel's actions. The Huntsman family has announced that they will stop donating to the University of Pennsylvania, and other business leaders are calling for accountability for students who signed pro-Palestinian letters. The pushback has sparked a debate over whether students should be punished for their views, with some cautioning against punishing young and impressionable individuals.
