Harvard President Resigns Amid Controversy

Harvard University President Claudine Gay has resigned after just six months.

The Boston Globe and other media reported her decision was announced weeks after criticism of the university's response to the October 7th

Hamas attack in Israel, her controversial testimony on Capitol Hill regarding campus anti-Semitism and allegations of plagiarism in her academic writing.

Her tenure as president is the shortest in Harvard's history.
