TL;DR Summary

Billionaire Ronald Lauder, a major donor to the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), has threatened to withdraw financial support if the school does not take stronger action against antisemitism. Lauder's threat comes in response to a Palestinian literary festival held on campus that included speakers with a history of making antisemitic remarks. Other prominent donors have also pledged to cut off funding, and one trustee has already resigned. UPenn has stated that it did not endorse the speakers or their views, but Lauder argues that more needs to be done to address the issue.
