Cornell student refuses job under Jewish boss, gets $25,000 donations

Cornell University student Austin Franco refused to work for a Jewish boss at an NYC startup, saying he would not work for a Jew.

Franco stated Cornell took no action against him, claiming he said nothing that could be classified as hateful.

Franco reported receiving $25,000 in donation money due to the controversy, as revealed to an Accuracy in Media undercover investigator.

Cornell's spokesperson referred to a prior statement that the incident was referred to the Cornell Office of Civil Rights for investigation.

Franco expressed no remorse and said he thought the controversy could have been avoided, but did not apologize for his remarks.
