As attacks regarding her congressional testimony and accusations of plagiarism mounted, on Tuesday, Harvard president Claudine Gay tendered her resignation.  In a letter to the faculty and students of Harvard, she 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.”

Her resignation comes less than a month after she testified before Congress regarding antisemitism on Harvard’s campus due to the war launched by Israel after Hamas militants attacked Israelis on October 7.
