PHILADELPHIA—The board of the University of Pennsylvania’s business school and more than 70 members of Congress have called for the Ivy League institution to name a new leader, ratcheting up pressure on Penn’s governing board after a furor erupted over the school president’s remarks on harassment of Jewish students.
The letter from lawmakers dated Friday also urged the boards of Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to fire their presidents, citing the three leaders’ congressional testimony regarding whether calls for genocide against Jewish people would qualify as harassment at their institutions.
