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.

Obvious transphobia.
Way back, gazillions of years ago, university presidents were folks of accomplishment and intellect.
Now? You wouldn’t hire any of these spineless losers to run a Starbucks.
It’s way deeper in that snake pit than the top layer of anti-semite snakes. These snakes are lower in the pit than Epsteins outhouse.
The Karenocracy has thousands of apparatchiks waiting to take the job when called.
Academia itself has gone “woke” - fed by massive debt and administrative bloat.
UPenn is probably the most “woke” Ivy after Columbia.
Between the Jerry Sandusky scandal and this there’s no hope for UPenn, they just plain suck.
No one was outraged over the years of hatred and/or discrimination directed against white gentiles, though.
Sandusky scandal was Penn State, not U of Penn.
She’s sorry though

Sandusky was at Penn State, not U of Penn.
A pasty gets fired for saying out loud what they all think.
Jerry Sandusky was at Penn State, a public state university. UPenn is a private university and part of the “Ivy League”.
A request reflecting obvious and blatant misogyny.
Meanwhile, a Wall Street tycoon on Thursday vowed to claw back a $100 million donation to the university if it doesn’t boot Magill.
Ross Stevens, the boss of Stone Ridge Asset Management, joined a growing chorus of high-powered donors and outraged elected officials who are calling for Magill’s head.
The hedge fund titan said he has “clear grounds” to rescind his donation and that law firm Davis Polk has sent the school a letter saying as much.
Any validity to the above?

over growing outrage at her failure to condemn calls for the genocide of the Jewish people —
Our intellectual superiors have a cult like brotherhood. Dog Fu#$ers every last one.
When you look at all the things Penn has done; This is the reason you fire her? The trans swimmer who wins medals racing girls and showers in the same room? The Chinese paying Biden’s salary for his document library? I mean wouldn’t you just suppose that antisemitism would be par for the coarse?
And remember the guy who gives them $100 million did not have any problem with the other stuff. Just this one.
Why no outrage about that? Not from Congress, not from university trustees, not from billionaire donors.
Jerry Springer would make a better president at any Ivy League than what is paraded as educated.
