Chicago – December 10, 2023
After a reaction to her testimony at a congressional hearing on rising anti-Semitism on college campuses, the president of a leading university in the United States resigned.
Under repeated inquiry, University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill resigned on Saturday after facing backlash for failing to state that calling for genocide against Jews would violate the school’s code of conduct.
Magill, Harvard University President Claudine Gay, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth faced harsh criticism after testifying before a US House of Representatives committee on anti-Semitism on university campuses on Tuesday.
