Fired CNN Commentator’s Remarks Have Hurt Temple University ‘Immeasurably’

The fallout from former CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill’s anti-Israel comments at the United Nations last month could yield big money troubles for Temple University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Patrick O’Connor, chairman of the Temple University Board of Trustees, earlier this week told The Temple News — the school’s student publication — that Hill’s anti-Israel comments have caused the school “immeasurable” damage, including a possible loss of donations to the university.

O’Connor said he has received “maybe 50” emails regarding Hill’s comments from “alums, professors, students, friends of Israel, politicians, young, old, black, white.”

In his speech at the United Nations, Hill, a professor of media studies and urban education at Temple, called for a “free Palestine from river to the sea.”

That’s a phrase often used by Hamas and other groups that advocate the end of the Jewish state.- READ MORE
