University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill has resigned after receiving criticism for her testimony at a congressional hearing on campus antisemitism where she struggled to answer a question about whether calling for the genocide of Jews qualifies as harassment.

Penn announced on Saturday that Magill decided to "voluntarily" tender her resignation but will remain a tenured faculty member at the university's law school.
