University of Southern California (USC) President Carol Folt announced that she would resign, effective July 1, 2025, making her the latest academic leader to depart following more than a year of antisemitic protests on campus.
The Daily Trojan noted that Folt did not provide a specific reason for her resignation. However, the Jewish News Syndicate noted that Folt had been criticized for the way USC handled — or mishandled — the protests: "In June, the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights opened an investigation into USC for potential violations of Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In August, Folt received a plan for how to address campus antisemitism."
As Breitbart News reported earlier this year, USC brought the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) onto campus to clear a pro-Palestinian "encampment." USC also canceled graduation rather than allow disruptive anti-Israel protests.
Several other university presidents have been forced to resign because of their failure to manage the protests and to protect Jewish students. They include Harvard president Claudine Gay and Columbia president Minouche Shafik.
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who helped lead congressional inquiries into campus antisemitism, has been nominated as President-elect Donald Trump's UN Ambassador; she will encounter more endemic antisemitism in that forum.

The Folt lies not in her stars, but in herself.

Yes, it seems that the several university presidents forced to resign for failing to stop anti-Israel protests are all affirmative action hires . . . and all have been women of one sort or another.
This business of cancelling graduation in capitulation to anarchist’s temper tantrums MUST stop.
Arrest, charge, and jail every last *protester*. Find out who’s funding them and go after them as well.
Put a stop to this organize anarchy.
Nice wig on that horse.
She quickly broke up the attempt to create an encampment. Maybe this time she’s ran afoul of the left? USC had traditionally been slightly conservative but it may have evolved over the years. As a private school they need rich international students that pay full freight.
So far the university presidents that have been forced to resign because nishandling the anti Israeli issue are all women.
And this is why I cheer the demise of the federal Department of Education. It is time to demolish this insidious viper’s nest. The entire educational system is completely corrupt from Randi Weingarten on down through all the bloated, layered educational administrative bureaucracy.
College has long become nothing more than a generational wealth transfer scam. For too long all the pony-tailed, tenured professors got fat and arrogant doing nothing but spouting ant-American Marxism. Kids became life-long indentured servants to the educational kleptocracy.
Wipe it all out and start over. It’s past time.
Tomorrow would be better!
Seems like most university president nowdays are all women and I’m sure all leftists. Another DEI disaster.
If a man had resigned he might get a job as Football coach at UCLA.
Probably more of the case that the Football team sucks and Coach Lincoln Riley has about a 90 million buy out.
