According to the Philadelphia Inquirer and Daily Pennsylvanian, students at Penn Chavurah wanted to show a controversial film about Israel, but the university cited potential negative response and postponed the screening until February. The documentary has won awards but has also sparked controversy for its portrayal of Israel, with some calling it anti-Israel and anti-American. Penn’s refusal to allow the student group to screen the film on campus has led to criticism from the Penn chapter of the American Association of University Professors, who believe it violates the principles of academic freedom. This decision by the university seems to contradict its commitment to open expression by students.
