While I'm fully uncomfortable with the influence donors have over these institutions, I also feel like the handling of some of those hearing questions was catastrophic. Lady got maneuvered into giving them exactly the weak non-answer they were fishing for. It's bad all around.

slimarev92,

Her testimony wasn’t very good, but this is literally cancel culture?

4am,

This is an attempt to behead universities by conservative freaks by twisting anti-genocide positions into antisemitism, which might be the most FUCKED thing I’ve seen yet.

“If you don’t support razing apartments full of children then you’re an antisemite!”

Nah, see it’s not about the fact that they’re Jewish, it’s the fact they’re an apartheid state, and they’re committing genocide. This is about their government and their leaders.

monkE,

Since when did criticism of a government start being equal to hatred towards the common people of the country?

This is bs. Every question is being shut down by Western media and politician using the antisemite tag.

It’s a deliberate propaganda position. Israel has no stance other than the weak “its defense” and for a long time they’ve said stuff like this to protect them from any criticism.

Ejh3k,

Raise your hand if you knew Penn held stocks in Stone Ridge prior to this CEO’s statement.

No one? Thought so.

I appreciate their stance and potential action, but Penn’s president’s statements in no way, shape or form, affected Stone Ridge in the least.

GentlemanLoser,

I don’t think i understand. You’re saying that since Stone Ridge isn’t affected by something they can’t pull their support ?

No. They're saying that Stone Ridge has no corporate justification for their actions and this is being done for petty reasons.

GentlemanLoser,

Why would they need “corporate justification” ?

Ejh3k,

No. What I’m saying is that no one would have known of their financial support of Penn, until he made it known.

Kusimulkku,

Penn probably knows who pays their bills

Ejh3k,

Yes. Of course they do. But this guy is just using this as a stunt

Kusimulkku,

Could’ve been pissed off over their statements

Ejh3k,

You are dense.

Kusimulkku,

Bothered
