Elizabeth Magill has resigned as president of the University of Pennsylvania, days after her testimony at a Congressional hearing on campus antisemitism drew a widespread rebuke and focused international attention on the failings of America’s most elite universities. Magill offered her resignation on Saturday, a day before the university’s board was to convene for an emergency meeting to discuss her position. She will remain a faculty member at Penn Carey Law, the university’s law school, and continue as interim president until a replacement is announced. Her resignation was followed by that of Scott Bok, the chair of Penn’s board of trustees, who had defended Magill in recent days as calls mounted for her to be ousted.
