(Daily Caller)—A donor to the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) is withdrawing a donation of roughly $100 million in response to its president’s congressional testimony Tuesday, according to Axios.
Several elite university presidents spoke before Congress Tuesday, including UPenn President Liz Magill, Harvard University President Claudine Gay and Massachusetts Insitute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth, and they refused to answer whether calling for genocide against Jews on campus was a violation of their codes of conduct. Ross Stevens, founder and CEO of Stone Ridge Asset Management, decided to pull his donation Thursday, alleging that the school violated the terms of the donation by violating anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies, according to Axios.
“Its permissive approach to hate speech calling for violence against Jews and laissez faire attitude toward harassment and discrimination against Jewish students would violate any policies of rules that prohibit harassment and discrimination based on religion, including those of Stone Ridge,” Stevens wrote in a letter to the university.
Large donors have been withdrawing from elite universities following their responses to antisemitism on campus.
Jon Huntsman Jr., a UPenn alumnus with an estimated net worth of $1 billion condemned the university’s “silence” regarding Hamas’ attack against Israel and halted donations to UPenn. Magill did not refer to Hamas as a terrorist organization until after prominent donor Huntsman said his family would stop donating to the university.
The Wexner Foundation, founded by billionaire Leslie Wexner, stopped donating to Harvard University following the university’s response.
Both Magill and Gay backtracked on their statements on that hearing and clarified that calling for the genocide of Jews is not acceptable on campus following backlash, including from the White House.
A “small number” of antisemitic threats on campus to university staff resulted in Penn contacting the FBI to investigate the matter.
Over 30 student organizations at Harvard University signed a letter blaming Israel for the Hamas terrorist attacks on Oct. 7, causing uproar. Gay released a statement later in October saying that the students did not speak for the university but that the organizations had a right to free speech.
UPenn did not immediately respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.

Discover the Freedom of True American Healthcare: Why America First is Revolutionizing Protection for Patriots
In a world where government overreach and skyrocketing premiums are squeezing the life out of hardworking Americans, one innovative agency is standing tall for liberty and affordability. Meet America First Healthcare—the private health insurance powerhouse dedicated to putting *you* first.
Founded by entrepreneur Jordan Sarmiento, this isn’t just insurance; it’s a shield for your family’s future, built on the unshakeable belief that private enterprise delivers better results than bureaucratic red tape.
Picture this: Jordan’s own story hits close to home for so many of us. A sudden medical emergency landed him with a staggering $95,000 bill. Under a traditional plan? He’d be buried in debt. But with America First’s patented health insurance, that nightmare shrank to just $500 out-of-pocket. That’s not a fluke—it’s the promise of coverage that works *for you*, from day one.
Breaking Free from the Chains of Conventional Coverage
Let’s face it: The status quo stinks. Marketplace.gov and big-insurance behemoths hit you with sky-high deductibles—thousands you’d have to pay before benefits even kick in—leaving massive holes in your protection. Need a routine mammogram, colonoscopy, or EKG? Good luck without forking over more cash. And don’t get us started on the gaps in dental, vision, or critical illness support when heart attacks, cancer, or kidney failure strike.
America First Healthcare flips the script. As a proud advocate for private solutions over government intervention, they craft custom plans that slash costs by 20% compared to traditional options. We’re talking comprehensive coverage that includes:
- Preventative and Wellness Care: Physical exams, screenings, and EKGs covered right away—no waiting games.
- Telemedicine Access: Virtual doctor visits anytime, anywhere, for that peace of mind.
- Accident and Critical Illness Protection: Real safeguards against life’s curveballs.
- Add-On Boosts: Dental, vision, disability, and supplemental plans to plug every leak.
Whether you’re an individual stepping off your parents’ plan, a growing family with kids in tow, or a small business owner tired of employee headaches, their tailored approach fits like a glove. Small businesses? Unlock group benefit rates usually reserved for corporate giants—without the red tape.
And for those in-between moments? Short-term insurance steps in as an ultra-affordable bridge, while life insurance ensures your loved ones are never left vulnerable.

It is the faculty that is running this show. They have always been there with roots going back decades. They are getting emboldened and they have the support of many in the government they just can’t take the publicity, yet. I never thought we would be reliving Germany of the thirties, but there it is.
Why are they still getting tax payer funding when they have huge endowments that are just sitting in investment accounts. Fire these Marxist administrators and professors who are pushing the indoctrination of hate, division and intolerance upon our children. Many of whom are not safe from the radical mobs that are harassing them on these campuses. Defund them now!
