House Republican leadership hosted a press conference on Tuesday with Jewish college students ahead of Congressional testimony from leaders in higher education about antisemitism on college campuses.  

In her opening statement, Magill focused on “essential” immediate actions that Penn is undertaking, including increased security and the formation of an antisemitism task force.

Magill delivered an opening testimony and then fielded various questions from committee members about antisemitism on campus.

Students expressed concern that the perspectives of non-Zionist Jewish community members “aren’t being heard” by University administration.

Foxx reflected on Magill's testimony and the overall state of higher education in her interview with the DP.

Students filed the lawsuit under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and allege that Penn "subjects them to a pervasively hostile educational environment." 

The newly announced programs — Conversations for Community and Dinners Across Differences — will offer meals free of charge for Penn community members, allowing them to discuss issues of interest. 

The hearing, titled “Holding Campus Leaders Accountable and Confronting Antisemitism,” will begin at 10:15 a.m.

A year and a half since Magill’s first Convocation address, many students, faculty, and alumni told the DP that they no longer feel that free speech and productive disagreement are possible on campus. 

The Daily Pennsylvanian broke down the key context behind Magill's upcoming testimony and what else people can expect at the hearing.

The students engaged in a protest in the Penn Carey Law courtyard outside of the class hosting Professor Amy Wax’s guest speaker Jared Taylor.

"This moment of challenge is exactly the time to recommit to our ambitions for the future and to further our connections as a community," Magill wrote in the email. 

Faculty members, students, and alumni affiliated with the MEC talked to the DP about the implications of Küçük’s resignation as director amid heightened campus tensions.

Former and current hotel employees alleged their complaints of a toxic workplace have gone unaddressed due to their superior's apparent marriage to a top Penn administrator. 

President Liz Magill opened the forum by acknowledging the shooting of three college students of Palestinian descent that occurred last Saturday in Burlington, Vermont.

The theme of Penn’s ongoing self-study is “Inclusively and Effectively Educating the Whole Person for the 21st Century.”

The AAUP statement comes a day after Penn Chavurah and IfNotNow Philly hosted a rally in Penn Commons where dozens of students protested the University’s refusal to allow for the screening of “Israelism.”
