Calls for UPenn President's Resignation Intensify Amidst Antisemitism Controversy

Former U.S. Ambassador Jon Huntsman has joined the growing calls for University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill to resign or be removed from her post following her controversial appearance at a House hearing on antisemitism. Huntsman, an alumnus of UPenn, stated that the university needs new leadership and urged the board of trustees to sever ties with the current administration. Several high-profile donors, including Huntsman's family, have already halted donations to UPenn due to the school's perceived inadequate response to antisemitism on campus. Magill's responses during the hearing, where she refused to acknowledge that calling for the genocide of Jews breached campus rules, have further fueled the demand for her resignation.
