Good riddance! Waiting for the cries of racism to start…never mind that she’s complicit in anti semitism, incompetent, and a plagiarizer!

Unfortunately just as with the president of Penn State who was forced to resign, but retained a different position at the university, Gay too will probably just move to a different position within Harvard…

Its a start. She should have been fired by the board not resign. Gay stays on as a proffessor.

The entire University is rotten. She is but one of many

Ha… my prediction about the inevitability of accusations of racism from the usual race baiters sure didn’t take long to come true… so how do they explain the other 2 college presidents, who aren’t black, being similarly pressured to resign as well?

Harvard governing board, activists say former president was a victim of racism
Claudine Gay, who was the first Black woman to lead the Ivy League institution, stepped down Tuesday.

I’m sure she was forced to resign… probably with threats to take the plagiarism charges further, if she didn’t.

I'm highly skeptical her replacement will be any better.

Me too. But it's still nice to hear she's out. (Even if it took too long).

I can’t believe they replaced her with a white, Jewish, male. Very bad optics and I think a poor decision. (So glad she’s resigned just think they should have chosen a minority to replace her and NOT someone Jewish)

Something tells me a Jewish president of Harvard probably won't have opinions much different from Gay

So why did their governing board accept her resignation if they think she was a victim of racism? They should have supported her all the way

I couldn’t disagree more, I think it’s horrendous to choose someone based on race, gender, etc., rather than who the best person for the job is…

Reminiscent of Biden and all his strictly-minority picks…

Seriously?? Why shouldn't they choose the best person (most qualified professionally etc ) for the job irrespective of the externals.
Do external matter to you?

More importantly, lets wish him hatzlacha and see what he does with the job and if he can turn things around.
