A group of students, alumni and faculty at the University of Pennsylvania’s business school are backing an open letter disavowing Donald Trump and announcing their commitment to an “open and inclusive American society.”
The letter says students at The Wharton School are taught “to represent the highest levels of respect and integrity” and “embrace humility and diversity.”
“As a candidate for President, and now as the presumptive GOP nominee, you have been afforded a transformative opportunity to be a leader on national and international stages and to make the Wharton community even prouder of our school and values,” the letter says.
“However, we have been deeply disappointed in your candidacy.”

The letter signers said they reject Trump’s “use of your education at Wharton as a platform for promoting prejudice and intolerance.”
“Your discriminatory statements are incompatible with the values that we are taught and we teach at Wharton,” the letter says, “and we express our unwavering commitment to an open and inclusive American society.”
