"College Presidents Face Backlash for Antisemitism Controversy and Moral Cowardice"

University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill is facing mounting calls for her resignation after her controversial testimony at a House hearing regarding antisemitism on campus. Critics argue that Magill's response to incidents of antisemitism has been inadequate, and her failure to explicitly condemn calls for the genocide of Jews during the hearing has further fueled the backlash. Former US Ambassador Jon Huntsman, major donor Ross Stevens, the Wharton Board of Advisors, and the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League are among those demanding Magill's immediate ouster. Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand also supports calls for the resignations of Magill and the presidents of Harvard and MIT, stating that their statements were abhorrent and that Jewish students are terrified on these campuses.
