  • The University of Pennsylvania has involved the FBI after some staff received threatening antisemitic emails. 
  • The messages included "hateful language" and targeted " the personal identities of the recipients." 
  • The university recently faced backlash for not condemning antisemitism faster after Hamas' attacks on Israel. 

The University of Pennsylvania has notified the FBI about "vile" antisemitic emails sent to its university staff, amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war and as donors threaten to pull funding. 

Penn's president Elizabeth Magill published a letter to the university on Monday about how it is addressing antisemitic threats on campus.
