1 week agoNorthwestern President to Step Down
Following more than a year of scrutiny from Republicans over how Northwestern University handled pro-Palestinian campus protests last year as well as a months-long federal funding freeze, President Michael Schill plans to step down. Schill, who has been president since 2022, announced his departure Thursday. "Over the past three years, it has been my profound honor to serve as president of Northwestern University," Schill wrote in a message to the campus community.
