"Harvard President Faces Mounting Pressure Following Penn President's Resignation and Antisemitism Testimony Fallout"

Pressure is mounting on Harvard University President Claudine Gay following the resignation of University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill. Gay, along with Magill and MIT President Sally Kornbluth, faced criticism for their responses to alleged incidents of antisemitism on their campuses. While Gay has apologized for her remarks, major donors, including billionaire hedge fund CEO Bill Ackman, remain unsatisfied. Harvard is one of several academic institutions under scrutiny for alleged antisemitism following the Israel-Hamas conflict. Despite community backlash, including a petition signed by over 300 faculty members, the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers are meeting to discuss Gay's future.
