Paglia is one of a handful of local academics whose views have won them intense opposition. At Drexel University, there was George Ciccariello-Maher, who left in December 2017 after making a number of controversial remarks on Twitter. In March 2018, the Black Law Students Association at the University of Pennsylvania organized a campaign to get law professor Amy Wax fired after she spoke negatively about black students’ performance in her class. And in December, Temple University’s board of trustees condemned professor Marc Lamont Hill for remarks about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
