Liz Magill, University of Pennsylvania president, resigns amid criticism over antisemitism testimony

Liz Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania, has resigned in the wake of backlash and pressure from donors following her testimony at a congressional hearing on antisemitism. Magill faced criticism for her inability to explicitly state, under repeated questioning, that calls for the genocide of Jews on campus would violate the school's conduct policy. The university announced Magill's departure on Saturday, mentioning that she would continue as a tenured faculty member at the Carey Law School. She has agreed to serve as Penn's leader until the appointment of an interim president.
