ACF-Northwestern Calls for President Michael Schill to Step Down
Northwestern President Michael Schill has demonstrated failed leadership and poor judgment throughout his short tenure. It is time for him to go.
Schill’s time as president has been marred by failure after failure. He refused to define and denounce antisemitism after October 7th and has presided over a worsening campus climate ever since. Despite repeated incidents of discrimination and harassment against Jewish students, he has shown a complete lack of initiative in tackling this critical issue.
Schill’s failed leadership allowed antisemitism to explode out into the open in recent weeks. To make matters worse, he cut a deal with the perpetrators, rewarding them for breaking campus rules and harassing Jewish students.
Michael Schill needs to resign to ensure a safe, inclusive campus environment for all students. We demand accountability and effective leadership for the betterment of the entire Northwestern community.
