Elizabeth Magill: UPenn loses $100m donation after House antisemitism testimony

A major University of Pennsylvania donor has withdrawn a $100m (£79.3m) grant after a controversial appearance in Congress by the school’s president.

In an email seen by the BBC, Ross Stevens said he was “appalled” Elizabeth Magill avoided questions about how students calling for the genocide of Jews would be punished.

Ms Magill was grilled by politicians on Tuesday about antisemitism on campus.

She has since apologised for her remarks, but is facing calls to resign.
