University Of Pennsylvania Professor Under Fire For Saying 'Our Country Will Be Better Off With More Whites And Fewer Non-Whites'

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- The University of Pennsylvania is responding after a professor who's under fire for comments she made at a national conservatism conference. Amy Wax was quoted as saying "our country will be better off with more whites and fewer non-whites" at a panel on immigration.

The comment was first reported by Vox.

Last year, the Penn Law professor was banned from teaching a mandatory course after she said she never saw a black student graduate toward the top of the class.
