Harvard President Claudine Gay said she would resign from her position on Tuesday, ending a six-month tenure marred by allegations of plagiarism and backlash over her congressional testimony about antisemitism on campus.

Gay had come under pressure to resign from Harvard's Jewish community and some members of Congress over her comments at the Dec. 5 congressional hearing, while also facing several allegations of plagiarism for her academic work in recent months.

Is this antisemitism thing just universities tolerating pro palestine views or is it actual antisemitism? it looks like shes not the only university president to have recently resigned

There's a purge of pro Palestine views yes

She got caught being a god tier plagiarist. The article above downplays it massively.

Any good links? I assumed it was pretext but now what you said has me super curious of the actual merits even without the whole Zionism angle.

Also, since I’m commenting anyway, anyone else read the caption as her “resigning from Harvard’s Jewish community”?

it also sounds like she resigned from some members of congress lol just very strange phrasing in this sentence

just move "from Harvard's Jewish community and some members of Congress" to before "to resign" and it becomes still a bit awkward but way easier to understand

I saw that too. Someone's editor also needs to resign.

Zionist crybullies went to congress to pretend to be oppressed and whine that people are anti-genocide
