UPenn president Liz Magill has resigned after congressional testimony backlash

PHILADELPHIA — University of Pennsylvania president Liz Magill has resigned amid growing bipartisan backlash against her congressional committee testimony on antisemitism earlier this week and a semester marked by near-weekly protests, complaints by deep-pocketed donors, and widespread accusations of mismanagement since a controversial literary festival on campus this fall.

And minutes later, Scott L. Bok, chair of the board of trustees, announced he was stepping down, too.
