University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill – under increasing pressure from both donors and the White House after her disastrous testimony before Congress this week on the school’s failure to protect Jewish students – “voluntarily” resigned her post Saturday, the school announced.

“I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania. She will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law. “On behalf of the entire Penn community, I want to thank President Magill for her service to the University as President and wish her well.

“We will be in touch in the coming days to share plans for interim leadership of Penn. President Magill has agreed to stay on until an interim president is appointed.

“President Magill shared the following statement, which I include here: ‘It has been my privilege to serve as President of this remarkable institution. It has been an honor to work with our faculty, students, staff, alumni, and community members to advance Penn’s vital missions.’”

Didn’t UPenn hire that hockey stick prevaricator Mikey Mann for the State Penn a few years ago?

None of those statements is an apology for creating a hostile, anti-Semitic environment on campus nor an apology for her reprehensible statements to the Congressional committee.

It's such a liberal way to do things.

It should have been...

“On behalf of the entire Penn community, I want to thank President Magill for her service to the University as President condemn President Magill for her horrific anti-Semitic statements and for not controlling the explosion of anti-Semitism and hatred of Jews on our campus. I wish her well."
And they should have fired her ass from the school and not let her return to the law department to continue to spread hatred.

What is the matter w/ these liberals?

They smugly barred from campus those who dared speak in opposition to their views.

Yet those who think “genocide is OK” are welcome on campus.

A soft landing then.... Let's see who is named her replacement.

she will remain a tenured faculty member at the law school

(of ALL the subjects she should NOT be allowed to teach, Law and Humanities would be right at the top of the list)

Good edit. Once upon a time in America, that's how it would have gone down. Ethics and morals are in a state of collapse.

So she will continue to teach that genocide is only genocide when the intended victims are not Jews or whites
