Harvard president Claudine Gay receives board's support amid controversy

Harvard board supports president Claudine Gay amid calls for resignation.

In a recent meeting, Harvard University's governing board, the Harvard Corporation, addressed a range of issues facing the institution, including rising anti-Semitism, allegations of plagiarism, declining application rates, and the implications of a recent Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action. While the meeting involved cordial and frank discussions, no explicit calls for the removal of Harvard President Claudine Gay were made, according to sources cited by the Harvard Crimson.

The meeting comes in the wake of a heated hearing earlier this month, where Gay and other university presidents struggled to explicitly acknowledge that calls for the genocide of Jews on campus would violate school rules. This controversial hearing has sparked calls for Gay's resignation due to her handling of anti-Semitism at Harvard.
