Embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay is resigning, according to reports on Tuesday. Gay, who became Harvard’s 30th president July 1, has been facing criticism amid scrutiny for how the prestigious university handles allegations of antisemitism and for instances of “inadequate citation” in her academic work. The Boston Globe and Harvard Crimson both reported on Tuesday that Gay would be stepping down, each citing a source familiar with the decision. Gay is the first person of color and the second woman to be president of Harvard. An academic who studied political behavior with a focus on race and politics in the U.S., she joined Harvard in 2006 as a government professor and began as a dean, leading the social science department and then the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigned in December after widespread public outrage over her testimony to Congress on antisemitism.
