University of Pennsylvania board of trustees holds emergency meeting after president Liz Magill’s disastrous testimony
The University of Pennsylvania’s board of trustees held an emergency meeting following criticism of school president Liz Magill’s responses at a recent House hearing. Critics include PA Governor Josh Shapiro and the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League, Jonathan Greenblatt, who lost confidence in Magill’s capability to lead. Her criticism stems from her failure, along with the presidents of Harvard and MIT, to definitively state that calling for the genocide of Jews would violate their respective school’s code of conduct. The board has yet to clarify if Magill’s role at the university is in jeopardy, but it is sure to be a topic of consideration. The hearing also drew criticism from figures such as Sen. Elizabeth Warren and billionaire Elon Musk, a Penn alumnus.
