Professor Amy Wax drew heavy criticism in July for comments she made about race and immigration.
University of Pennsylvania law students called for Professor Amy Wax's firing Monday and urged administrators to expand opportunities for people of color in a demonstration timed to coincide with family visitation day.
In July, Wax was heavily criticized for"bigoted" comments she made at the National Conservativism Conference in Washington, D.C. in which she argued that America would be better off if it was dominated by immigrants from First World countries instead of those countries"that had failed to advance" and contain a lot of non-white people. She claimed that the current immigration policy was driven by fear of being accused of racism, white supremacy and xenophobia.
Among her critics was Penn Law Dean Ted Ruger, who characterized Wax's remarks as a"bigoted theory of white cultural and ethnic supremacy" at best and at worst"racist." Demonstrators have already circulated a petition calling for Wax's termination, one that had gathered thousands of signatures. On Monday, United POC Affinity Groups, an organizer of the demonstrations, intensified the pressure for the administration to act.
