WASHINGTON (AP) — The university presidents called before last week’s congressional hearing on antisemitism had more in common than strife on their campuses: The leaders of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard and MIT were all women who were relatively new in their positions. In that sense, they represented the changing face of leadership at top-tier universities, with a record number of women leading Ivy League schools. Now Penn’s president has resigned over comments that she said did not go far enough to condemn hate against Jewish students. And Harvard’s president has faced calls to step down from donors and some lawmakers.
