This isn't the first time Professor Amy Wax drew negative attention.
By Wednesday, more than 50,000 people signed a digital petition to fire University of Pennsylvania law professor Amy Wax.
"While Penn touts itself as a beacon of diversity and inclusion with black and brown students showcased on its admission materials, the administration continues to turn a blind eye to the racism prevalent in its faculty," the petition stated. The Latinx Law Students Association penned a petition as well, which had almost 2,000 signatures, including about 250 members of the Penn Law community. Among other demands, such as denouncing Wax's statements, it called for her to be terminated from her position.
Her most recent comments, the student coalition said, showed that she didn't learn from having some of her teaching responsibilities taken away."When a professor makes meritless claims that disrupt the law school and do nothing more than to insult the extraordinary students who walk through the doors, that speech warrants termination," the student coalition said.
