After the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and the University of Pennsylvania testified on Capitol Hill this week, UPenn President Elizabeth Magill’s comments sparked backlash among the public and one of her colleagues. Concerns that university presidents are equivocating on the issue of condemning antisemitism on their campuses has prompted a nationwide debate over the role of academia and the business of higher education. President of Brandeis University Ron Liebowitz says, there’s no gray area in creating safe spaces to learn, at least for him. The November jobs report delivered some welcome economic news for the Federal Reserve, ahead of the central bank’s two-day meeting next week. Plus, CNBC’s Diana Olick is on the ground at COP28, the UN Climate Change Conference, and CNBC’s Robert Frank fact checks the great wealth migration: New York has not lost all its millionaires.
