Harvard President Claudine Gay Faces Backlash Over Antisemitism, Plagiarism Controversies

Prominent Academics Challenge Harvard Corporation, Call for More Action Amid Growing Donor Concerns

Harvard University's President, Claudine Gay, is under fire for her handling of on-campus antisemitism and plagiarism allegations.
Several prominent Harvard academics confronted two members of the university's board, the Harvard Corporation, demanding more action to address these controversies.
Despite the backlash, the Harvard Corporation has stood behind Gay, leading to calls for the board members to resign.
Gay, the first black president of Harvard, has faced additional scrutiny due to her lack of experience in a presidential role.
Major Harvard donor, Bill Ackman, has called for Gay's resignation and claimed that the Harvard Corporation has asked her to resign, but she has refused.
