BREAKING: Harvard president resigns after backlash over testimony on campus antisemitism, and amid plagiarism claims

The times, they are a-changing. May she not be the last forced to change with them.

[IsraelTimes] Claudine Gay has announced her resignation as president of Harvard University.

"It is with a heavy heart but a deep love for Harvard that I write to share that I will be stepping down as president. This is not a decision I came to easily... after consultation with members of the Corporation, it has become clear that it is in the best interests of Harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than any individual," Gay wrote in an email sent out to Harvard staff, students and alumni.

In recent weeks, Gay had faced accusations of plagiarism, which surfaced after increased scrutiny of her published works in the wake of her controversial early December testimony about antisemitism on US university campuses.

#7 Now for the resignation of the entire Harvard high administration for misfeasance, malfeasance, nonfeasance AND dumb-feasance.

#8 @#5. The previous mayor of Chicago is at Harvard. They always pick someone worse so the right does not spike the ball. See current Mayor of Chicago as a recent example.
