Resignations and Backlash: Antisemitism Controversies Rock Ivy League Universities

University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill and Board Chair Scott Bok have resigned following criticism of Magill's testimony on antisemitism before Congress. Magill struggled to answer questions about whether calls for genocide against Jews would violate UPenn's code of conduct. The resignations come after a flood of calls for Magill's resignation and demands for action to ensure the safety of Jewish and Israeli students on campus. Magill will remain on Penn's faculty as a tenured professor at Penn Carey Law School.
