Wow, who saw this coming? UPenn President Liz Magill backtracked from statements she made during Tuesday’s congressional hearings on anti-Jewish hate on her campus.

Well, she sort of backtracked. I mean, you didn’t really expect a high-and-mighty, elitist, hoity-toity Ivy League president to actually apologize to the rabble, did you?

In case you missed it, Rep. Elise Stenanik (R-NY) took Magill to the woodshed during the House Education Committee hearing where the presidents of Harvard and MIT also received grillings. The Committee wanted to know what their schools were doing to protect Jewish students on campus, a question none of these presidents (all women, for the record) wanted to answer.

Magill smirked her way through Stefanik’s enquiry, claiming that calling for the genocide of Jews was a “context-dependent decision” as to whether or not it violated UPenn’s code of conduct. She probably thought that Stefanik lacked the sophistication to understand the intricacies of a “context-dependent decision.”
