Scott Bok’s resignation statement is a must read for everyone tracking university-sponsored antisemitism.

He fundamentally believes Magill did nothing wrong. That this was about 30 seconds of bad testimony – a momentary PR crisis that could no longer be managed instead of a…

I wouldn’t call this memo from then-Dean Claudine Gay to the faculty prior to becoming president a smoking gun.

I would call it a business plan.

This is the plan the @Harvard board bought into when they hired President Gay. https://t.co/aFD9jM2LuJ

I wouldn’t want to be a member of the board of the university who goes last in dismissing its president.

They already have all of the information they need to be decisive about this decision. https://t.co/UavExNJ26D

BREAKING: UPenn president Liz Magill has resigned.

Now Harvard's Claudine Gay & MIT's Sally Kornbluth must do the same.

Their schools censor criticism of DEI and saying that sex is biological & binary, but they'd allow calling for genocide of Jews “depending on the context.” pic.twitter.com/yF9gQscpd6

UPenn President Liz Magill steps down after controversial testimony on antisemitism

Magill faced major backlash after her testimony during a congressional hearing

House launches investigation into Harvard, UPenn and MIT over ‘rampant antisemitism’

Former Israeli Knesset member Michal Cotler-Wunsh says this has been a ‘real moment of reckoning’ amid major U.S. colleges facing antisemitism backlash on ‘The Evening Edit.’

University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill has resigned Saturday after widespread public outrage over her testimony to Congress on antisemitism.

The announcement came after days of intense pressure from Penn alumni and elected officials following Magill’s botched Capitol Hill testimony earlier in the week.

“I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania. She will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law,” Board of Trustees Chairman Scott L. Bok wrote in a statement.

Bok said that Magill agreed to stay on until an interim president is appointed.

The board of Penn’s Wharton business school also asked Magill to resign and the university’s board of trustees held an emergency meeting Thursday as the school faced backlash over her comments.

Both Stevens and the Wharton board pointed to Magill’s disastrous Congressional testimony in statements explaining the reasons for their respective actions.
