The president of the University of Pennsylvania, M. Elizabeth Magill, resigned on Saturday, four days after she appeared before Congress and appeared to evade the question of whether students who called for the genocide of Jews should be punished.
Support for Ms. Magill, already shaken in recent months over her approach to a Palestinian literary conference and the university’s initial response to the Hamas attack on Israel on Oct. 7, unraveled after her testimony. Influential graduates questioned her leadership, wealthy contributors moved to withdraw donations, and public officials besieged the university to oust its president.
She has "voluntarily" submitted her resignation.
She and her fellow "educators" who run elite universities were called in front of Congress because, after becoming notorious for restricting speech that raised the most petty objections by the various alphabet communities, they have had no problem with expressions of vile anti-Semetism, including calls for violence. Now they wanted to claim complete content-nutrality, which was laughable.
That president of Harvard later "apologized," but not for Harvard's policies but for not giving a better answer. There is no better way to state that a student is allowed to loudly call for the genocide of Jews at harvard, but will be expelled if he or she "misgenders" their male roomate who has been placed in a female dorm room.
