"Harvard Divided: The Claudine Gay Controversy and the Future of Leadership"

The editorial board of Harvard University's student newspaper, The Crimson, is divided over support for President Claudine Gay amidst allegations of antisemitism and plagiarism. Two members, Brooks Anderson and Joshua Kaplan, have publicly dissented, arguing that Harvard needs a leader who can better handle the challenges and national outcry. Meanwhile, Harvard faces a Congressional investigation into the plagiarism allegations against Gay, which could potentially impact the university's federal funding. The controversy follows criticism of Gay's congressional testimony on campus antisemitism and the ongoing pro-Palestine protests at Harvard.
