Harvard President Claudine Gay will resign Tuesday afternoon, bringing an end to the shortest presidency in the University's history, according to a person with knowledge of the decision.

Gay’s resignation — just six months and two days into the presidency — comes amid growing allegations of plagiarism and lasting doubts over her ability to respond to antisemitism on campus after her disastrous congressional testimony Dec. 5.

Gay weathered scandal after scandal over her brief tenure, facing national backlash for her administration’s response to Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack and allegations of plagiarism in her scholarly work.

    See… you’re already wrong. Some of these people are people that she studied under and worked with regularly. Not all but most. Gary King was her senior advisor, for example. The other examples, such as from Lawrence Bobo and Franklin Gilliam, are cited earlier in the paragraph. The later citations should have had quotations attributed but didn’t, hence the negligence and not malice.

    This didn’t become an issue until the politics came up and I think you’re being dishonest to suggest that she’s being scrutinized because of some academic standard as opposed to partisan political points.
