TL;DR

University of Pennsylvania President M. Elizabeth Magill has resigned following criticism for her handling of antisemitism on campus. Magill faced backlash after allowing a Palestinian writers conference on campus and evading questions about disciplining students who called for the genocide of Jews during a congressional hearing. Jewish students, alumni, and donors had accused her of not taking their concerns seriously. Magill is the first president of a major university to step down due to protests related to the recent conflict between Israel and Hamas.
