"UPenn's Leadership Shake-Up: Lessons Learned from President Magill's Resignation"

The University of Pennsylvania's board of trustees has appointed J. Larry Jameson as the interim president following Liz Magill's resignation. Magill faced backlash after equivocating on questions regarding disciplinary actions for students calling for the genocide of Jews during a congressional hearing. Jameson, the dean of UPenn's medical school, was approved for the position during a Zoom meeting. Magill's resignation comes after a contentious hearing on antisemitism, with Harvard and MIT presidents receiving support from their respective governing boards.
