Embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay to resign

By Eva Rothenberg | CNN

Embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay will resign today, according to a report from The Harvard Crimson.

The Crimson, citing a person with knowledge of the decision, said Gay will resign and that it is unclear who will be appointed to serve in the interim.

CNN has reached out to Harvard for comment.

Gay’s term as president of the prestigious university lasted just over six months. She was undone in part by her responses at a congressional hearing last month, as well as an ongoing plagiarism scandal.

At the House hearing, Gay was criticized for a lack of direct answer about policies and procedures to combat bullying and harassment of Jewish students.
