Dean Rips Law Prof’s ‘Repugnant’ Race Statements; She Has ‘No Plans’ to Leave School
The dean of the University of Pennsylvania’s Law School has labeled remarks made by controversial professor Amy Wax on race and immigration as “repugnant.”
“During a panel on immigration in Washington last week, Wax reportedly said the United States would benefit if the immigration system favored people from Western countries, which ‘in effect means taking the position that our country will be better off with more whites and fewer nonwhites,’” according to a report in The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Penn Law dean Ted Ruger said her remarks flirted with racism and white supremacy.
Bloomberg Law reports Wax has said in an email to Bloomberg that she has “no plans” to leave Penn permanently.
