Sep 23, 2024, 06:16 PM

The University of Pennsylvania has announced sanctions against Penn Law professor Amy Wax following a history of controversial and discriminatory remarks. Wax, who has been under investigation for over a year, has made statements deemed racist and invited a white nationalist to speak to her class. Despite the sanctions, Wax will retain her job and tenure. The disciplinary proceedings, which lasted two years, have little precedent in the university's history. The sanctions were upheld by the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School and include a public reprimand.
