The University of Pennsylvania offered Professor Amy Wax $50,000 and reduced penalties if she would promise not to publicly criticize it ahead of tougher sanctions.

Wax is a conservative law professor who has faced years of investigations and criticism from university leaders and activists because of her comments on immigration, race, and IQ. The university announced earlier this week Wax will be suspended next year and only receive half of her salary during that time.

Penn has an endowment north of $20 billion. Fifty thousand is a pretty insulting offer for one's integrity, considering. One has to wonder whether this qualifies as fraud or harassment; I suspect Wax's attorney will research that question forthwith.
