Controversy Surrounds ASU's Liberal Environment and Donor Withdrawal

Real estate magnate Tom Lewis has pulled a six-figure donation from Arizona State University (ASU), citing "left-wing hostility and activism" by faculty. Lewis, who has donated millions to ASU over the years, decided to rescind his annual $400,000 pledge to the university's honors college after faculty condemned a staff member for organizing on-campus events with conservative speakers. The faculty's reaction to the event led to the firing of the staff member, prompting Lewis to withdraw his support. He expressed concerns about the university's adherence to free speech and called for action to protect all voices.

Germany sees violent clashes as activists jailed for attacking neo-Nazis.

Far-left protesters clashed with police in Leipzig, Germany, over jail terms handed down to several people convicted of vigilante attacks against neo-Nazis. A court in Dresden convicted four left-wing activists, including a well-known student identified in German media as Lina E., of committing violent acts against neo-Nazis, sentencing them to jail for two to five years. Groups sympathetic to Lina E. have been protesting the verdict. The protests turned violent, and police arrested five people. The calls for protests came in the aftermath of Lina E. receiving a five-year jail term earlier in the week for her role in a series of attacks in Leipzig and other German cities.
