Harvard University’s First Black President Resigns Amid Allegations of Plagiarism

The President of Harvard University Claudine Gay has resigned, making her tenure the shortest presidency in the University’s history.

The student newspaper of the school reported the development, which comes after Claudine Gay faced criticism over allegations of plagiarism and her handling of anti-Semitism on campus.

She has been criticized in recent months after reports surfaced alleging that did she not properly cite scholarly sources in her academic work.

Gay was also engulfed by scandal after she declined to say unequivocally whether calling for the genocide of Jews violated Harvard’s code of conduct, during testimony to Congress alongside the heads of other universities last month.

The 53-year-old academic was born in New York to Haitian immigrants and is a professor of political science who in July became the first Black president of Harvard University.
