Harvard President Apologizes for Congressional Testimony on Antisemitism
Harvard President Claudine Gay apologized for her Congressional testimony concerning her handling of antisemitism. Her apology followed criticism of her comments and those from the presidents of M.I.T. and the University of Pennsylvania. Over 70 members of Congress, primarily Republicans, demanded their resignation, accusing their testimonies of showing “a complete absence of moral clarity”. The controversy also sparked debates about how universities handle racial issues. Despite the calls for resignation, there are no indications that Dr. Gay is considering such a step.
