According to information from the university newspaper, the president of the elite American Harvard University, Claudine Gay, will resign because of her stance on anti-Semitism on campus.
“Harvard President Claudine Gay will resign Tuesday afternoon,” the Harvard Crimson reported. The newspaper cited “a person aware of the decision”. Gay's tenure will be the shortest in Harvard University's history.

In mid-December, Gay avoided resignation after the Harvard Corporation, the university's governing body, supported her.
Gay – the first African-American president in Harvard's history – had previously been questioned about anti-Semitism at a congressional hearing. When asked whether students calling for the “genocide of Jews” on campus are violating the university’s rules of conduct, she responded: “It depends on the context.”
