“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.

A soft landing then.... Let's see who is named her replacement.

It’s not a soft landing. It actually was a very hard landing for an Ivy president. Liz Magill’s position is just an admistrative post. That doesn’t count in the university. Primarily she is a member of the faculty and the faculty control the administrative staff.

Years ago when Dwight Eisenhower was addressing the faculty at Columbia, he called the members of the faculty employees. Isidore Rabi, a distinguished faculty member interrupted him to say, “The faculty is the university.”
