| 0:04.9 | Well, folks, the big news over the weekend is that the University of Pennsylvania's president |
| 0:08.3 | Elizabeth McGill stepped down from her position as president of the university. |
| 0:12.8 | So too did the chairman of the board of trustees, a person named Scott Bach. |
| 0:16.5 | They're both leaving because McGill, along with Claudia Negay over at Harvard, as well as the president |
| 0:22.1 | of MIT, they all testified in front of Congress where Elise Stefani, who's the representative |
| 0:27.1 | from New York, grilled them about anti-Semitic chance on college campuses, genocidal chance |
| 0:31.8 | on college campuses, and she asked them pretty clearly, and over and over, why exactly, |
| 0:36.2 | doesn't this violate your university's policies against |
| 0:38.8 | hate? What exactly would violate your university's policies against hate? And none of these |
| 0:43.1 | presidents could answer the question. Because of course, certain types of hate on campus is |
| 0:46.9 | totally allowed and certain types of hate on campus, totally verboten. That is the way that it works |
| 0:51.9 | on college campuses. In fact, certain rational statements |
| 0:54.5 | are not allowed on college campuses. Things like boys are not girls. You, a man, are not a woman. |
| 1:00.1 | That can get you banned from a college campus, but you saying, from the river to the sea, |
| 1:03.5 | Palestine shall be free, which means the obliteration of the Jewish state, that is totally fine, |
| 1:08.0 | even when said directly in front of a bunch of Israeli Jews. |
| 1:11.5 | So, the president of Penn has now been ousted from her position. |
| 1:16.5 | She resigned on Saturday, according to the New York Times, four days after she appeared before Congress |
| 1:20.4 | and appeared to evade the question of whether students who called for the genocide of Jews should be punished. |
| 1:25.8 | Support for McGill, which had already been shaken in recent months over her approach to a Palestinian literary conference and the university's initial response to the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7th unraveled after her testimony. This is according to the New York Times. By Saturday evening, one day before Penn's board of trustees was expected to meet and fire her, she said that she would quit. Scott Bach, the board's chairman, said in an email to the Penn community that she had voluntarily tendered her resignation, and an hour later, he tendered his resignation as well. There are two other presidents who testified in front of Congress and who are also now on the hot seat. That, of course, would be Claudine Gay of Harvard and Sally Cornbluth of MIT. Now, it is very unlikely that Cloudian Gay goes anywhere. She has been touched by the hand of the diverse God, and that means that she will go nowhere. However, when it comes to McGill, McGill did not fulfill any of those prerequisites. She was a white lady, and that means that she could be ousted pretty safely by the DEI contingent, and then she will presumably be replaced by somebody of more diversity. |
