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.

“Harvard’s Jewish Community” i smell bs here. PMC and petit bourgeois Jews are much more likely to be Zionist than working class Jews (anecdotal: the Jewish side of my family has a petit bourgeois background and i knew a ton of PMC Jews who all supported isntreal; when i expanded my worldview and met more working class Jews i learned more abt the true nature of isntreal). that being said, non-tenure-track profs and are some of the lowest paid PMCs and are usually the most class conscious. its much more likely “Harvard’s Jewish Community” is probably limited to some angry Jewish full tenure profs and administrators, backed up by the Jewish students with upper class backgrounds.

that, or the plagiarism was legit. universities take that shit seriously

Some universities take academic dishonesty more seriously than sexual assault and rape
