From reader John Owens:

I was under the impression that Box supported Liz and resigned with her. So at least one trustee had some backbone.

From reader Len Lear:

Amy Gutmann got amazing press because she was able to kiss the behinds of mega-donors, and she made out quite well herself. The supposedly tough press went limp when it came to her. Her charm offensive worked.

I cannot feel sorry for Liz Magill because she had a great opportunity to tell those phony right-wing Republican Congresspeople where to shove it, and she blew it spectacularly. A lamb led to slaughter. She doesn’t deserve to lead a great university because she did not stand up for anything. She rolled over and let them beat her up. What kind of leader is that?

And she is still a tenured professor at Penn. Not a bad booby prize.

I wonder how Amy Guttman would have handled it. Probably the same.
