This is terrific news! Liz Magill is a great choice to lead Georgetown Law. Regarding the controversy—Elise Stefanik ambushed Magill at that hearing with the evident goal of smearing her as an antisemite, which she is not (obviously). UPenn's loss is our gain. www.politico.com/news/magazin...
She Resigned as Penn President After a Controversial Hearing. Now She’s Back.
Liz Magill, the former president of the University of Pennsylvania, will be the new dean of Georgetown University’s law school.

We now have the most spectacular leadership team at Georgetown Law possible: Eduardo Peñalver as University President, and now Liz Magill as Executive Vice President and Law Dean.
Everything Rosa said! This is simply wonderful news for our law school. (And major thanks, too, to Josh Teitelbaum for being such a fantastic interim dean.)
