The dean at one of the country's top law schools is calling comments from a professor at the university "racist" and "anti-intellectual" after she said the influx of "Asian elites" in the US is dangerous and problematic.
Theodore Rugers, the dean at the University of Pennsylvania Law School, issued a statement Monday about comments law professor Amy Wax made during an interview on December 19 with Glenn Loury, a Brown University professor who hosts weekly conversations online about race and inequality.
"Once again, Amy Wax has, through her thoroughly anti-intellectual and racist comments denigrating Asian immigrants, underscored a fundamental tension around harmful speech at American universities," Rugers said in an online statement.

As a shrinking number of Transportation Security Administration agents work to keep hourslong security lines moving despite not being paid, President Donald Trump stepped into the fray Saturday, announcing he will send Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to airports by Monday if Congress doesn’t agree to a plan to end the partial government shutdown.
