The University of Pennsylvania reprimanded law professor Amy Wax for racially charged statements, including her assertion that society would benefit from more whites and fewer nonwhites.
Despite calls for her termination, Wax is being suspended with pay reductions but retains her tenured position, highlighting the contentious debate around academic freedom and free speech.
The sanctions against Wax, which include losing her named chair and a public reprimand, have drawn national attention and sparked discussions about the limits of academic freedom in universities.
Former dean Theodore W. Ruger noted that Wax was previously removed from teaching required courses, reflecting ongoing concerns about her influence and the impact of her statements on students.
