UPenn president's fate hangs in balance as angry board convenes for emergency meeting
Fox News
University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill faces mounting pressure to resign from her role after intense backlash to her Congressional testimony on antisemitism
The question facing the board is whether Magill can continue to effectively fundraise and lead the university after the backlash against her handling of antisemitism at the school since the October 7 attack on Israel. Pressure is building on Magill to resign after she declined to outright state that calls for the genocide of Jewish people constitute bullying or harassment under UPenn's code of conduct during a congressional hearing on Tuesday.

Magill, along with Harvard President Claudine Gay and Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth, was summoned to Capitol Hill to give testimony about rising antisemitism on their campuses before the House Education and Workforce Committee.
