WASHINGTON – Today, Education and the Workforce Committee Chairwoman Virginia Foxx (R-NC) released the following statement in response to UPenn President Liz Magill stepping down from her role after receiving backlash for her shocking testimony during the Committee’s December 5 hearing on antisemitism:
 
"Three chances. President Magill had three chances to set the record straight when asked if calling for the genocide of Jews violated UPenn’s code of conduct during our hearing on antisemitism. Instead of giving a resounding yes to the question, she chose to equivocate. What’s more shocking is that it took her more than 24 hours to clarify her comments, and even that clarification failed to include an apology to the Jewish students who do not feel safe on campus. I welcome her departure from UPenn.”
