Harvard President Claudine Gay said she would resign from her position on Tuesday, ending a six-month tenure marred by allegations of plagiarism and backlash over her congressional testimony about antisemitism on campus.

Gay had come under pressure to resign from Harvard's Jewish community and some members of Congress over her comments at the Dec. 5 congressional hearing, while also facing several allegations of plagiarism for her academic work in recent months.

    Whether the plagiarism was real or not seems kinda moot due to the proximity of the other "antisemitism" allegations to what's going on in Gaza. Zionists are looking for an easy PR win after a streak of losses, and university presidents are basically the designated fall guys for this kind of thing.
