Daily News | Penn law prof Amy Wax asks for delay of disciplinary proceedings for her cancer treatment
against Wax, accusing her of “inappropriate conduct” and asking that the senate convene a hearing and ultimately levy a major sanction against Wax, which could include suspension or firing.
“Wax has repeatedly used the platform she was granted when she became a professor at the university to disparage immigrants, people of color, and women, including law students, alumni and faculty,” Ruger said in the letter. Ruger initiated the process against Wax in January after she said in late 2021 that the country would be better off with fewer Asians and less Asian immigration. She also has called into question the academic ability of Black students, saying in an interview that she didn’t think she’d ever seen a Black student graduate in the top quarter of the class at Penn Law and “rarely, rarely in the top half,” which Ruger has disputed. MostShapiro addressed some of those charges directly in his letter.
Of the Taylor incident, Shapiro wrote that it was proper for Wax to invite Taylor to the seminar on Conservative and Legal Thought, which is supposed to educate students on “conservative and right-of-center positions.” Wax, he said, received permission to invite Taylor and was reimbursed for the lunch.
He also contends that the university must provide information for Wax to properly defend herself. Wax has asserted that her comments about Black student performance were accurate and therefore she can’t be sanctioned for them. “The University,” he argued, “cannot seek to sanction Prof. Wax for her comments on Black student performance at Penn Law while, at the same time, refusing to provide information about Black student performance at Penn Law.”
