Pressure is growing on University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill to quit as alumni, donors and lawmakers demand a change in leadership over how she’s handled antisemitism on campus, part of a broader crisis that’s engulfed three of the world’s most elite universities.
The Penn board plans to meet Sunday at 5pm with Magill’s future on the line after days of lobbying for and against her, said two people with knowledge of the matter. The board is currently divided and may not reach a decision this weekend, they said, asking not to be identified as the discussions are private.
