Politico on the defenestration of Magill

Long-form story on Liz Magill and that absurd 2023 hearing. My only criticism is that it does not do enough to emphasize what bullshit Elise Stefanik peddles, how correct Magill was, and how much of this is a way to get (or jawbone universities to get) unpopular speech and speakers off campus. This story is important because Magill was the first casualty in the initial skirmish of the war on higher ed that Trump has unleashed.

One photo in the piece shows a Penn protest with a sign "I'm a proud Jew in any context." No one--certainly not Magill--ever said otherwise.
