President Magill and Chairman Bek:
1am a Penn alumous, a Peen parent, a former Engineering Overseer, and a major embarrassed by my association with and support for the University of Penney hanis The leadership of the University has failed so demonstrate the values I expect foom an institutice that purports to colucate young adults and propare them for a lifetime of leadership and to be emissaries for good in the world.
In rosponse to the Palestine Writes festival, President Magill declared that the Uninersity "fercely supports... the expeession of views... that are incomparible with our institutional valoes." One could argue whether you really have an obligation to

cuffer question b. what exally are your vallo!
Do you believe, like Litinersity of Florida President Ben Sasse, that "What Hamas did is evil and there is no defense for terrorism?" Do you believe, like President Axe Basen, that Hamas unleashed "unadalrated evil en the world" in beact, that
you agree with New York Mayor Eric Adams that "Israel has a right so defend iself."
that "we will not be alright until every person respomble for this act is held accountable," and thut "Hamas must be dismasted immedianely? I don't believe you
These people are leaders of institutions, like you, and they have shown that the Immersity of Florida, the leited States of America, and the City of New York hang chief executives that can call out evil, can do so uncquirocally, and can declare that. bot caly does Israel have the right to defend itself. but we all have a moval obligation so fight the coil that attacks tham. Will Peen join bract's fight against evil?
My caly conclusos, from your fierce support toe the Hamas-allitated sneakers at the

proemote, from your failure to call out cril, is that you are amDivaloon to the anprecedemed evil their acts repeesent. The University of Penasylvanis does not condemn as evil the butchers who behcad habics and kidnap and rape girls. The University of Pennsyfvania does not consider those actions to be cuil and their perpetrators to be vil. Why can't you call it cuil? I can only conchude that you don't
coesider it ail.
Marc Roman has called for your firing as a response to your failures in Icadership, but feet your lining is unnecessary, because it is wholly madconate.

Frankly, I don't think there is anything anyone can do do Loosein the shout sace of febase is misal tondatons tom to pro up
Iws have playnd an extraordinary role in the history and legacy of the University of Ponesylvania. And Jews have benefited froe their affiliation with Porn. Bun regardless of the economis and social value of a Penn or Wharton degroe, there is no place for self-respecting Reaish prople at an insitution that supports evil. And, by bosting flamas co carnas, and on failing to call Hamas evil, that exactly what Perm has done.
1am deeply adumed of my asociation with the University of Peansylvania. I refuse
1o donate anocher dollar to Penn. There is no action anyone at Pera can take to change that. I'm not asking for any actices. You have shown me who you are. My only remaining hope is that all self-respecting Jews, and all moral citizens of the world. dissociate themselves froen Penn.
