UPenn President Liz Magill resigns after disastrous antisemitism testimony

University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill – under increasing pressure from both donors and the White House after her disastrous testimony before Congress this week on the school’s failure to protect Jewish students – “voluntarily” resigned her post Saturday, the school announced.

“I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania. She will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law.

 “On behalf of the entire Penn community, I want to thank President Magill for her service to the University as President and wish her well.

“We will be in touch in the coming days to share plans for interim leadership of Penn. President Magill has agreed to stay on until an interim president is appointed.

“President Magill shared the following statement, which I include here: ‘It has been my privilege to serve as President of this remarkable institution. It has been an honor to work with our faculty, students, staff, alumni, and community members to advance Penn’s vital missions.’”

The message came as a “University Notification” sent to staffers Saturday by Scott L. Bok, chairman of the Ivy League school’s board of trustees.

Magill’s sudden departure came four days after her Tuesday appearance before the House Education Committee, when she and the presidents of Harvard and MIT were grilled by Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) – who asked each of them whether calling for the genocide of Jews are considered “bullying and harassment” under their colleges’ codes of conduct.

“It is a context-dependent decision, Congresswoman,” Magill responded – sparking outrage among donors and others.

A source close to situation told The Post that the mood was sad Saturday as 27 trustees met for two hours without Magill’s or Bok’s knowledge and decided to recommend that she consider resignation.

The executive committee will present a “plan forward” on Sunday, the source said.
