The two top leaders of the prestigious University of Pennsylvania resigned Saturday after several days of furious reaction to the school president’s testimony before a congressional hearing on campus antisemitism where she, and the heads of Harvard and MIT, offered equivocal responses to whether calls for genocide of Jews would violate their schools’ rules.

The resignation of UPenn president Liz Magill was announced by Scott L. Bok, chairman of the university’s board of trustees, who soon after disclosed that he too was stepping down, a spokesman for the school confirmed.

The blowback focused on a line of questioning from Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., who repeatedly asked whether “calling for the genocide of Jews” would violate their campus codes of conduct.

“If the speech turns into conduct it can be harassment, yes,” Magill said. Pressed further, she told Stefanik, “It is a context-dependent decision, congresswoman.”

Pressure on Magill included a threat by one donor to withdraw a roughly $100 million gift to the university, while . Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro called her remarks “shameful” and urged the UPenn board to consider whether they were consistent with the university’s values.
