Amid exponentially mounting pressure following her disastrous testimony to Congress this week, Liz Magill has "voluntarily resigned" as the President of the University of Pennsylvania.

Axios reports that the board of Penn's Wharton business school on Friday sent a letter to the university's board of trustees, after receiving no reply to a letter they sent on Thursday to Magill, in which they requested her resignation.

The letter read, in part:

"The Board will, of course, vote based upon each member's beliefs and only the Board of Trustees, as the University's fiduciaries, can determine the actions that are in the best interests of the University.

However, University inaction cloaked in statements of intent and informational meetings has fostered the current climate of fear on campus and has resulted in Government inquiries, Title VI litigation, and declarations by numerous media outlets that our beloved university is 'ground zero for antisemitism on college campuses.'"

The letter comes after Magill rapidly backtracked on her congressional testimony in a video released Wednesday.

"In that moment, I was focused on our university's long-standing policies, aligned with the U.S. Constitution, which says that speech alone is not punishable," she said.
