"UPenn President Liz Magill and Board Chair Scott Bok Resign Amid Antisemitism Testimony Fallout"
University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill has resigned following backlash over her handling of antisemitism on campus. The resignation came after Republican lawmakers called for her removal and threatened to withhold $31 million in state funding to the university's veterinary school. Magill will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law and will serve as interim president while a new leader is appointed. The Chair of the Board of Trustees, Scott L. Bok, also announced his resignation two hours after Magill's announcement. The controversy arose from Magill's testimony before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce, where she and other university presidents condemned antisemitism and anti-Palestinian hate on their campuses.
