This, coupled with the plagiarism accusations, created a tumultuous environment for her brief tenure.<\/p>\n<p data-sourcepos=\"9:1-9:92\">Her resignation marks the second high-profile departure of an Ivy League president in recent weeks, following Liz Magill&#8217;s step down from the University of Pennsylvania amidst similar controversies.
