Harvard University president Claudine Gay resigned on Tuesday.
Gay had been embroiled in dual controversies over her response to campus antisemitism at Harvard in the wake of Hamas’ Oct. 7 terror attacks, as well as accusations that she plagiarized substantial portions of her academic work.
On Dec. 5, Gay was grilled by Republicans on the House Education and Workforce Committee alongside other college presidents about whether calling for the genocide of Jews would violate their schools’ respective codes of conduct.
“It depends on the context,” Gay stated.
Penn president Liz Magill announced her resignation on Dec. 9, four days after the hearing.
