      Not strange or foul, but this might get Penn's attention.

      Huntsman "closed the checkbook."

      1987 College graduate Jon Huntsman Jr. told Penn President Liz Magill that his family will stop donating to Penn, stripping the University of a longtime donor amid backlash from influential trustees and alumni.

      In an email to Magill obtained by The Daily Pennsylvanian, Huntsman — a former University trustee, governor of Utah, and United States ambassador — said that the Huntsman Foundation will "close its checkbook" on future donations to Penn. Huntsman, whose family has donated tens of millions to Penn over the course of three generations, wrote that the University had become "almost unrecognizable" due to administrators' response to antisemitism.

      "Moral relativism has fueled the university’s race to the bottom and sadly now has reached a point where remaining impartial is no longer an option," he wrote to Magill after a meeting of the Board of Trustees on Friday night.

      Huntsman expressed disappointment in Penn's alleged "silence" to the attack by Hamas on Israel.

      "The University’s silence in the face of reprehensible and historic Hamas evil against the people of Israel (when the only response should be outright condemnation) is a new low," Huntsman wrote. "Silence is antisemitism, and antisemitism is hate, the very thing higher ed was built to obviate."

      I'm so old that I remember when someone cried "silence is violence!" these asshats nodded approvingly, staged a "kneel-in" in congress and condoned the burning and looting of our cities.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                    I don't understand how anyone with an institutional role that is publicly visible posts political shit on social media. I never did post political shit except for our little hideout here, and now as chair of the Foundation I'm even more careful.

                      As it befits your position to be. As amazing as it may seem, some things are more important than publicly airing our opinions.

                        Indeed. If you look at my Faceypage, you'll see

                        1. It's not my real name ("V" is my middle initial, in case you're wondering).
                        2. There's nothing political or controversial there.

                        I decided that when I established the account (before I retired). Last thing I wanted was some patient looking me up.

                        Yeah, if you're really dedicated, you can find my kids and their last names, but...

                                  Though I disagree with Fetterman on countless issues, he came across with some remarkable clarity.

                                  Also, watching the man speak is interesting. It looks like he's made significant progress in his recovery from his CVA.

                                  Good for him.

                                      That should be criminal menacing of some sort. It’s definitely a threat.
