Northwestern University President Michael Hill resigned after three years in office. The previous three years had been fraught with controversy due to campus protests, clashes with the Trump administration over research funding, and a rugby program bullying scandal. Hill said in a statement announcing his resignation on Thursday: “I am honored to be the president of Northwestern University. During this time, we have made significant progress, but also faced huge challenges.” The school's board of trustees will soon appoint an interim principal to replace Hill. Northwestern University is currently trying to negotiate with the White House to release $790 million in funds frozen due to allegations of anti-Semitism on campus. Due to federal funding restrictions, Northwestern University had to lay off staff, which affected projects in medicine, engineering, and other fields. Schill's withdrawal has exacerbated the turmoil in American colleges and universities.
