UPenn Faces $100 Million Donation Loss Due to Antisemitism Fallout

TL;DR Summary
University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) is facing backlash over its response to alleged increase in on-campus antisemitism, leading to a prominent donor, Ross Stevens, clawing back a $100 million contribution. Stevens' lawyers accused UPenn of a permissive approach to hate speech and discrimination against Jewish students. The board of the Warton Business School called for UPenn President Liz Magill's resignation, while the U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce announced an investigation into UPenn, Harvard, and MIT. Despite pressure, UPenn's board of trustees decided to keep Magill in her position for now.
