Harvard University Faces Multiple Crises Amid Calls for Change

Tensions Rise as Harvard Corporation Continues to Support Embattled President Amid Plagiarism Scandal and Rising Antisemitism

Harvard University is grappling with a series of crises, including rising antisemitism on campus, a plagiarism scandal involving President Claudine Gay, and a significant drop in applications.
Members of Harvard's faculty and the university's governing body, the Harvard Corporation, recently held a meeting to discuss these issues and potential solutions.
Despite the controversies, the Harvard Corporation has continued to support President Gay, stating that her citation errors do not constitute research misconduct.
However, there are reports of increasing tensions among board members, and some suggest that replacing President Gay may not be enough to address the university's problems.
Harvard megadonor Len Blavatnik has paused his donations to the university until the issues of antisemitism on campus are resolved.
