Billionaire Ronald Lauder, heir to the Estée Lauder cosmetics empire, will pull out from funding the University of Pennsylvania over concerns with its response to antisemitism after the deadly Hamas terror attack against Israel.
News of Lauder's move comes after Jon Huntsman, the former Republican governor of Utah and a U.S. ambassador, vowed to halt UPenn contributions for purported “silence in the face of reprehensible and historic Hamas evil against the people of Israel." Huntsman attended the school and previously gave $50 million to it.
Lauder has taken issue with UPenn's decision to host a “Palestine Writes Literature Festival” in September, which featured Randa Abdel-Fattah, a writer who has claimed Israel is a “demonic, sick project” and that she “can’t wait for the day we commemorate its end," the New York Post reported. Roger Waters of the band Pink Floyd, who UPenn banned from campus over alleged antisemitism, attended the festival over Zoom.
