Penn Law Sanctions Amy Wax Over Racist Remarks and Misconduct

The University of Pennsylvania suspends the controversial professor for one year, citing unprofessional conduct and discriminatory statements.

Penn Law Professor Amy Wax has been suspended for one year with a 50% pay reduction and loss of her endowed chair and summer pay.
Wax has been accused of making racist remarks, including questioning the academic abilities of Black students and promoting white nationalist views.
The university's sanctions follow a two-year investigation and the first full faculty senate process in over 20 years.
Wax plans to remain at Penn and continue teaching, despite the sanctions and a hostile environment she claims to face.
The sanctions come after multiple complaints and a determination that Wax's behavior breached her responsibilities as a teacher.
