Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters posted a video to his Instagram on Saturday claiming he had been banned from the University of Pennsylvania campus.The Friday article states several Jewish students and community members wrote to school administrators condemning alleged anti-Semitism of speakers at the events.
