Controversial University of Pennsylvania law professor Amy Wax, whose “racist speech” and inflammatory comments have long generated criticism, once allegedly suggested that it was “rational” to fear Black men in elevators and that Mexican males were more likely than other men to assault women.
Those were among several new accusations of “inappropriate conduct” against Wax contained in a 12-page letter sent to the Penn faculty senate by law school dean Ted Ruger, who wants the senate to convene a hearing and ultimately levy a major sanction against Wax, that could include suspension or firing.
Wax did not respond to a request for comment over the weekend.
