- Harvard president resigns amid controversy over anti-Semitisim hearing
- Claudine Gay came under fire last month for her answers to a question on anti-Semitism on campus.
The president of Harvard University, Claudine Gay, has resigned amid plagiarism accusations and criticism over a congressional hearing during which she was unable to say whether calls for the genocide of Jews on campus would violate the school’s conduct policy.
In a statement announcing her departure on Tuesday, Gay wrote, “It is with a heavy heart but a deep love for Harvard that I write to share that I will be stepping down as president.”
