"Harvard President Under Fire: Faculty Support and Resignation Calls"

Over 500 faculty members at Harvard University have signed a letter urging the university not to remove President Claudine Gay, who has faced criticism for her remarks during a congressional hearing on antisemitism. The faculty members argue that removing Gay would compromise the university's commitment to academic freedom and defend the independence of the institution. Meanwhile, the presidents of MIT and the University of Pennsylvania have also faced calls to resign over their responses to the same hearing, with Liz Magill, the president of UPenn, already resigning. MIT's governing board has expressed support for its president, Sally Kornbluth.
