Harvard University President Claudine Gay has resigned amidst allegations of plagiarism and criticism for her congressional testimony on antisemitism. The decision follows concerns about her handling of a hearing where she faced backlash, particularly from New York Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik. The controversy also involves accusations of plagiarism in Gay's academic work, which underwent an independent review. Harvard Corporation expressed gratitude for Gay's contributions but confirmed her departure. Alan M. Garber will serve as interim president. Gay, the first person of color and second woman as Harvard's president, will remain a faculty member.
