YouTube Description
as posted by the channelRonald Lauder — heir to the Estee Lauder cosmetics empire and a major donor to the University of Pennsylvania — said he will “re-examine” his financial support to the Ivy League school over its weak response to antisemitism on campus, according to a letter obtained by The Post. NY Post Business reporter Lydia Monihan shares this story.
In a Monday letter to UPenn President Liz Magill, Lauder slammed the university’s decision to host a controversial “Palestine Writes Literature Festival” last month — and noted that Lauder had personally traveled to Philadelphia to visit Magill on campus to urge her to cancel it.
“I told you that those invited to the event had a history of not just strong anti-Israel bias, but outright antisemitism. You were already aware of much of this,” Lauder writes. “I now know that the conference has put a deep stain on Penn’s reputation that will take a long time to repair.”
Lauder — whose family bankrolled the creation of the Lauder Center, an internationally focused arm of UPenn’s prestigious Wharton School — added that “the timing of the event could not possibly have been worse,” referring to the deadly attacks on Israel last week by Hamas.
