Accuracy in Media calls for University President Michael Schill’s resignation through billboard on wheels
News outlet Accuracy in Media dispatched a mobile billboard to University President Michael Schill’s residence, Wieboldt House, on Tuesday.
The billboard, affixed to a truck, contains a photo of Schill on a red background with the text “Hamas’s favorite university president, Michael Schill.” It also says that it is Schill’s “time to resign.” It links to a website that prompts community members to contact University Trustees and urge that Schill step down.
Calls for Schill’s resignation have come as University administration reached an agreement with organizers on April 29 to end a five-day pro-Palestinian encampment. In the days since the agreement was reached, organizations like the Anti-Defamation League Midwest have also demanded that Schill resign.
