University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill has resigned from her position, the chairman of the school’s board of trustees announced in a letter to the Penn community Saturday.

The move comes less than a week after a controversial exchange with Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) on Capitol Hill, in which she, Harvard University President Claudine Gay, and Massachusetts Institue of Technology President Sally Kornbluth did not say if "calling for the genocide of Jews" amounted to harassment that violated their schools' codes of conduct.

Since Tuesday’s House Education and Workforce Committee hearing on the rise of antisemitism on college campuses, a donor threatened to revoke a $100 million gift to the school and Stefanik launched a bipartisan effort to oust the school presidents who testified. The mounting pressure ultimately led to the change in leadership.

“On behalf of the entire Penn community, I want to thank President Magill for her service to the University as President and wish her well,” Chairman Scott Bok wrote in the letter.

Magill’s resignation is not effective immediately, Bok wrote. The chairman said the board will share plans for interim leadership in the coming days.

“It has been my privilege to serve as President of this remarkable institution,” Magill said in a statement included in the letter. “It has been an honor to work with our faculty, students, staff, alumni, and community members to advance Penn’s vital missions.”

Although Magill will no longer serve as president, she will remain a tenured faculty member at the university’s law school, Bok wrote.
