A real estate investor who has donated large amounts to Arizona State University over the years has pulled his six figure donation over faculty condemning a staff member for organizing on-campus events with prominent conservatives.
In a recent statement, Scottsdale millionaire Tom Lewis said he would not follow through with his $400,000 pledge to the university’s honors college after decades of donating.
Lewis cited “left-wing hostility and activism” on campus after a faculty member claimed the school fired her for inviting conservative commentators Dennis Prager, Charlie Kirk, and Robert Kiyosaki to speak on campus.
From Fox News:
Over 20 years, Lewis has donated millions to ASU and has developed the T.W. Lewis Center for Personal Development, which is part of ASU’s Barrett, The Honors College. In late June, Lewis pulled the money because of faculty’s reaction to the event organized by Ann Atkinson, the T.W. Lewis Center’s executive director in February.
