As we've reported Harvard University President Claudine Gay, University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill, and MIT President Sally Kornbluth made some astonishing statements in response to how they would deal for calls for Jewish genocide on their campuses and whether such statements would violate the code of conduct at their schools. 

All the answers were bad as the presidents hedged and equivocated. Liz Magill said that it would depend upon the context. That caused understandable outrage. She then tried to clean it up, releasing a video with a groveling apology. But it was a day late and a dollar short. She may have known that her days as president were numbered. 

But what may have sealed her fate as president of the school was donors pulling out their money from the university after her comments. If you don't have the courage to do the right thing for the right thing's sake, then the donors demanding it by pulling their money is going to get some real action. 

The Chairman of Board of Trustees issued a statement:

"I write to share that President Liz Magill has voluntarily tendered her resignation as President of the University of Pennsylvania. She will remain a tenured faculty member at Penn Carey Law," Board of Trustees Chairman Scott L. Bok wrote in a statement.  [....]

Magill resigned days after major donor Ross Stevens rescinded a $100 million gift to the school in protest of the college's handling of antisemitism on campus and her leadership. The board of Penn's Wharton business school also asked Magill to resign and the university's board of trustees held an emergency meeting Thursday as the school faced backlash over her comments.

"Voluntary" as in there's the door, see if you can find it -- all of your own volition, of course. 

Magill said she would stay on until a replacement was selected, and she's still going to be teaching law there, so that was causing some raised eyebrows on social media. But they don't seem to be taking any action in regard to that. 

Some wondered if there would be similar action in regard to the other presidents. But of course the question goes far deeper because of how deep this may run across not just the three colleges, but many other schools -- how may others have such a problem? And will this "resignation" make any change to the dangerous environment that seems to be boiling right now on these campuses? 

This is not enough

Should have taken 30 seconds

The rot goes far deeper than Liz Magill at Penn—and beyond https://t.co/gb4RDUyQe1

Good, Harvard and MIT should be next.

The rot of antisemitism runs deep in the leadership at our universities because too many of these schools don't hire people based on merit, they hire them based on their commitment to radical leftist/anti-Israel orthodoxy. https://t.co/7cHiGf7dgl

Q: Did she resign or was she fired?

A: It depends on the context.

Good riddance.
