The University of Pennsylvania’s president, one of three university leaders bashed by critics for their testimony to Congress last week about hate speech, has agreed to step down. Two others, the presidents of Harvard and M.I.T., are also under pressure.
Liz Magill and Scott Bok, two top leaders at the University of Pennsylvania, resigned Saturday after days of criticism and pressure from donors, alumni and Jewish community members following Magill's comments in a Congressional hearing on campus antisemitism.
Liz Magill came under fire this week after a hearing in Congress where university presidents were asked about antisemitism on college campuses.
Colleges and universities have been criticized for their handling of antisemitic incidents since the Oct. 7 terrorist attack by Hamas on Israel.
