 ‘One down’: UPenn reportedly asking president Liz Magill to step down Friday over outrage at antisemitism testimony

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.”

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.

“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.

Money talks; B.S. walks.

She won't be dismissed because Jewish students fear for their safety on campus.  She'll be dismissed for F'ing up the donations.

Is calling for Jewish genocide allowed on campus? "It depends on the context."
The most mealy-mouthed answer ever.

I saw an interesting point this morning that the three prez's went to that hearing not understanding the game they were in.  They had been prepped by lawyers and NOT public relations crisis pros, so as to not incriminate themselves, instead of admitting that their institutions were eat up with anti-semitism.  Their smirking hubris didn't help them at all either.

She was struggling. She was looking for a way to say "YES", without actually saying Yes.
So she came up with this nonsense.

So they're not doing it because what she said was wrong.  They're doing it because it might cost them money.
