"Harvard President Faces Resignation Pressure Amidst Faculty Support and Controversy"

Harvard University President Claudine Gay is facing pressure to resign after her remarks about antisemitism, but some faculty members are showing support for her. The Harvard Corporation, the body that could decide her fate, is scheduled to meet on Monday. Over 500 faculty members have signed a petition urging resistance to political pressures and supporting academic freedom. The fallout from the controversy has also led to the resignation of the president of the University of Pennsylvania and calls for the president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology to step aside. Congressional Republicans have opened an investigation into the three institutions, and major donors have threatened to withdraw multimillion-dollar gifts.
