A private equity CEO has criticized the University of Pennsylvania for allowing a pro-Palestine festival to be held on campus, where some speakers allegedly called for violence against Jews just weeks before the Hamas attack on Israel.
Marc Rowan, CEO of Apollo Global Management and an alumnus of the school, initially sent a letter to UPenn’s student publication, The Daily Pennsylvanian, on Oct. 10, raising his concerns about antisemitism, according to eJewish Philanthropy. When the student paper did not publish the letter by the next day, eJewish Philanthropy posted the letter on its own website.
