Following Liz Magill’s resignation and a rise in antisemitism and other forms of hate, there are calls for the University of Pennsylvania to reevaluate its policy on free expression. Claire Finkelstein, who sits on Penn’s Committee on Open Expression and is chair of University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School’s Committee on Academic Freedom, argued in The Washington Post that it is “time for university presidents to rethink the role that open expression and academic freedom play in the educational mission of their institutions.”
On Saturday, Dec. 9, Penn received news that had been expected for some time: Liz Magill announced her resignation. She had been receiving criticism from all sides for months. Some community members criticized her delayed acknowledgement of Hamas’s attack in October while others expressed dismay over her omission of any mention of Palestinians from her original statements on the conflict.

When I arrived in Israel two months after Oct. 7, I met a different country, a changed people. Something of the native Israeli arrogance, cynicism, and semi-indifference to the surrounding, the self-confidence, and sense of superiority, had disappeared. They were replaced by a craving for closeness, a desire for a hug, a kind of heart-wrenching despair. Moreover, these desires and cravings were expressed with surprising directness. The people whom we met showered us with warmth and affection, for we came from far away to be with them in their time of pain, even for a few days.

Major shockwaves reverberated through the college football world when legendary Alabama head coach Nick Saban announced his retirement after a 17-year period of dominance over the sport in which the Crimson Tide won six national championships. Following Saban’s decision to retire, current Alabama players have a 30-day window to potentially transfer to another institution to continue their college careers. Though transferring was made more difficult due to the timing of Saban’s decision, which was at the start of classes for most universities, many players still opted to enter the portal. Among those players was true freshman quarterback Julian Sayin, the younger brother of Penn’s star signal-caller Aidan Sayin.

I believe that every person should be treasured. That every soul bears some semblance to mine. I’d like to think that these beliefs have carried me far in life. But I remember one day eight years ago, during an interaction with a prominent member of Penn’s community, these convictions led me astray. It is not that I doubt their truth. But through my encounter with this person, I learned that not all people wish to live their lives abiding by such beliefs.
