The president of an Ivy League university stepped down in the wake of a row after a congressional hearing on the rise in anti-Semitism on US campuses. The University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill “voluntarily tendered her resignation,” the chair of the university’s board of trustees Scott Bok announced. Mr Bok then stepped down himself, according to the Daily Pennsylvanian, the campus student newspaper.
