Pa. Republicans call on Penn to fire Liz Magill (live updates)
Penn says president Liz Magill is staying put while rebukes increase over her comments on antisemitism on campus made on Capitol Hill earlier this week.
Excerpt:
“President Magill’s actions in front of Congress were an embarrassment to the university, its student body, and its vast network of proud alumni,” the six congressmen wrote in a news release. “She has shown the university and the entire world that she is either incapable or unwilling to combat antisemitism on the university’s campus and take care of its student body. As such, I respectfully call on you to relieve President Magill of her duties as president to protect the lives of Jewish American students at the University of Pennsylvania.”
