University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill has resigned from her position after receiving severe backlash from the White House, lawmakers, and alumni for avoiding questions at a congressional hearing addressing anti-Semitism campus.
On Saturday, Scott Bok, the chair of the Penn Board of Trustees, shared the decision in a letter to the school community.
“I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania,” Bok wrote in the message to the Penn community on Saturday. “She will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law.”
