UPenn reportedly asking president Liz Magill to step down Friday
2023-12-09
[NYPOST] The University of Pennsylvania is expected to ask its president, Liz Magill, to resign Friday over growing outrage at her failure to condemn calls for the genocide of the Jewish people — a move celebrated by billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman, who said she would be "one down."
Reportedly and is expected to — no evidence on the internet that anything was done as of 9:45 p.m. ET Friday evening. Let’s look for something in Saturday’s news, dear Reader.
The Ivy League school’s board of trustees held an emergency meeting Thursday to deal with the fallout from Magill’s disastrous congressional testimony Tuesday, which has already driven a Wall Street titan to try to claw back a $100 million donation and led to calls for her ouster.

Board chairman Scott Bok is expected to talk to Magill about resigning on Friday, a source familiar with the proceedings told CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
"One down," wrote Ackman, one of the most outspoken critics of colleges failing to stop rising antisemitism.

"There is hope for UPenn," he wrote while sharing the CNN report.
