Law professor Amy Wax, following her reprimand, one-year suspension, and financial punishment by the University of Pennsylvania, intends to stay at school as a “conservative presence on campus,” the embattled scholar tells the Sun exclusively. Her case has become a flashpoint for freedom of speech on college campuses.  

Ms. Wax’s insistence to the Sun that “allegations I abuse or discriminate against students are totally bogus and made up” comes after Penn issued the academic a “public letter of reprimand” that includes the suspension — to begin next year — at half-pay, the loss of her named chair, and the forfeiture of summer pay in perpetuity. She estimates that the punishments will amount to more than half a million dollars.
