University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill and Board of Trustees Chairman Scott Bok have both resigned after receiving criticism for a congressional hearing about antisemitism on college campuses.
Magill, along with the Harvard and MIT presidents, struggled to answer a question about whether calling for the genocide of Jews would violate their respective college rules.
The three university presidents have since faced growing pressure to resign from congress members and major donors.
