"UPenn President Faces Pressure to Resign Amid Donor Crisis and Israel Controversy"

Dick Wolf, the creator of "Law & Order," has written a letter urging Liz Magill, the president of the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn), to step down from her position. Wolf, along with other powerful donors, is cutting off financial support to UPenn due to concerns over a Palestinian literature festival held on campus that included speakers with a history of making antisemitic remarks. Wolf believes a leadership change is necessary for unification in the community and has vowed to end all donations until both Magill and the chair of the board of trustees, Scott Bok, resign. The festival organizers deny embracing antisemitism, while Magill and Bok have received support from some members of the UPenn community.
