The University of Pennsylvania stood by its president and chair of the board of trustees, rebuffing calls for their resignation by major donors including Apollo Global Management Inc.’s Marc Rowan, who accused them of tolerating antisemitism.

“The university has publicly committed to unprecedented steps to further combat antisemitism on its campus, reaffirmed deep support for our Jewish community, and condemned the devastating and barbaric attacks on Israel by Hamas,” Vice Chair Julie Platt said in an emailed statement Thursday.
