There are some medical Drs in Congress, but if she is overseeing education, she is probably just a PhD kind...
The chair of the University of UPenn’s Board of Trustees, Scott Bok, resigned on Saturday, after man-splaining controversial comments (now resigned) UPenn President Liz Magill made at a House hearing on antisemitism this week.
Bok described Magill’s comments as “a very unfortunate misstep… after five hours of aggressive questioning before a Congressional committee.”
He stood up for her in the message, calling her “a very good person and a talented leader who was beloved by her team”
“Worn down by months of relentless external attacks, she was not herself last Tuesday,” he said. “Over prepared and over lawyered given the hostile forum and high stakes, she provided a legalistic answer to a moral question, and that was wrong.”
“It made for a dreadful 30-second sound bite in what was more than five hours of testimony,” he added.
