Harvard President Under Pressure After Antisemitism Controversy, But Avoids Resignation With Apology
- Attention turns to Harvard President Claudine Gay after University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigns over campus antisemitism controversies
- Gay criticized for failing to clearly condemn calls for genocide of Jews as violation of Harvard's conduct codes in Congressional testimony
- Gay has since apologized for remarks, acknowledged threats to Jewish students have no place at Harvard
- Jewish alumni and donors have called for reforms to address antisemitism on Harvard's campus
- Unlike Magill, Gay has taken accountability and her willingness to do so may determine whether she ultimately resigns
