In the wake of the October 7 attacks and many universities’ lack of strong response to rising antisemitism on campus, Marc Rowan, a major funder and chair of the board of advisors of The Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania, encouraged donors to “close their checkbooks” until major changes are made on campus. Rowan and Rabbi Cosgrove will discuss how we can advocate for change on campus and beyond.
