CAMBRIDGE, Massachusetts — Embattled Harvard president Claudine Gay attended a campus menorah lighting Wednesday — a day after it emerged she was retaining her job at the Ivy League school despite widespread antisemitism backlash.
The under-fire president was among the roughly 100 people to gather at the daily lighting ceremony, organized by the Harvard Chabad, at the campus’ Harvard Park.
Gay, who attended alongside her colleague Professor Jeff Bussgang, was spotted lighting the first candle.
Despite a slew of anti-Israel protests being held on campus of late, the lighting went ahead calmly without any interruptions.
Gay’s appearance came after the Harvard Corporation — the university’s highest governing body — announced Tuesday that she would remain leader of the prestigious school in the wake of her disastrous congressional testimony about antisemitism last week.
Some Jewish students — who say they are still experiencing a sense of unease on campus over antisemitism — told The Post Wednesday that Gay should be booted from her post if she fails to take measures to protect them.
“If she’s willing to take action to actually protect us, that’s fine. If not, she needs to go,” one student, who asked to remain anonymous due to fear of reprisals, said.

If she had an ounce of moral fortitude she would have resigned the first day after her horrid testimony... She doesn’t and neither does the establishment at Harvard.

Why do we all have to put up with pretending so we’ll be politically correct?
The enablers are saying “ooooooo isn’t she wonderful to do that?”

She’ll take a position elsewhere. The heat on her is not going to stop. Will get turned up.

Chabad is deviously righteous, luring the most wicked pseudohumans into acknowledging their Creator. The honorees imagine they are respected.

In his most(?) recent podcast, Dan Bongino contends that she is worth more to our side by staying in her position than she is by being fired.
