University of Pennsylvania president resigns under pressure from donors

The University of Pennsylvania president, Liz McGill, resigned from her position after facing criticism for her congressional testimony about anti-Semitism. McGill, along with other university presidents from Harvard and MIT, faced outrage for their response to a question about calling for the genocide of Jews. Major donors, including Wall Street bigwigs, had already been leading a revolt against the presidents, accusing Ivy League colleges of allowing anti-Semitism to spread unchecked on campuses. This tension heightened after Pfizer CEO Albert Borla called the testimony a despicable moment in US academia. McGill's resignation was influenced by the pressure exerted by the major donors and threats of significant financial donation withdrawals.
