University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill has faced calls for her resignation from major donors over her response to Hamas’ terror attacks on Israel.
A prominent University of Pennsylvania donor sent his alma mater a $1 check with an annual pledge for the same amount as long as UPenn President Liz Magill remains at the school, joining a handful of other mega-donors who continue to withhold donations over the school's response to the Israel-Hamas conflict and accusations of excusing antisemitism.
Jonathon Jacobson, a 1983 Wharton graduate and founding member of private investment firm HighSage Ventures LLC, announced his reduced donation in a letter obtained by Fox News, in which he scolded his alma mater for its lack of 'moral courage' and inability to distinguish between 'what is clearly right and clearly wrong.
The Wexner Foundation, a nonprofit started by Victoria’s Secret founder Leslie Wexner and his wife Abigail, announced in a letter this week that they will be stopping their funding to Harvard, saying they were 'sickened and stunned' by the school's 'dismal failure' to take an unequivocal stand against the 'barbaric murders of innocent Israeli civilians.
