Harvard President Claudine Gay has resigned after a disastrous, brief tenure at as head of the prestigious university.
In an email to colleagues today, she wrote that she was standing down after 'consultation' with the school's board, which has been under pressure to replace her after defending her congressional testimony about campus antisemitism.
She failed to acknowledge where she went wrong - making no mention of her refusal to condemn antisemitism as harassment at a December 5 congressional hearing or the mounting claims of plagiarism against her - but said she had been the victim of racist threats.
'It has become clear that it is in the best interests of Harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge with a focus on the institution rather than any individual,' Gay wrote.
She said it had been 'frightening' to find herself the target of threats, and 'distressing' to have her character questioned.
Gay will be replaced by Alan M. Garber, Provost and Chief Academic Officer, who sat behind her at the infamous December 5 hearing, nodding as she made her remarks.
Her six month tenure as president is the shortest in the schools history.

If Harvard had wanted a competent person who happened to be black they could have chosen Dr Carol Swain. But they didn’t because they’re idiots.
President Gay is not the problem. She is a scapegoat and her resignation does nothing.
She was hired by the board, which must take ownership. The board needs to retain a representative but donor-heavy group to fix things and then every board member needs to resign, no exceptions. The designated group needs not only to choose the successors but also i) address the irretrievably bad state of governance and ii) turn the university’s primary focus toward being the world’s preeminent institution of higher education and to have that demonstrated through old school metrics.
I’m sure the @role” will include a substantial six-figure salary
She should learn a useful skill.
But she won’t .
Next job will be getting paid for something dealing with racial grievances .
It won’t be a job doing something useful, producing a tangible good or product.
It will be a job dishing out government grievance money
According to Grammarly, Gay plagiarized her resignation letter. LOL!!!

“If Harvard had wanted a competent person who happened to be black they could have chosen Dr Carol Swain. But they didn’t because they’re idiots.”
They didn’t hire Dr Swain because she did not meet their POLITICAL litmus tests, because Dr Swain is a devoted Christian and a Conservative.
Appeared she pulled the ugly card too.
“Black woman named Gay. Harvard had a three-fer.”
It’s called intersectionality. Cool stuff.
I covered that in the 'because they're idiots' part...
She should have her degree(s) taken away from her for the work she submitted as her own, but plagiarized from other scholars. One of the major parts of presenting a formal paper or thesis, is providing the original source material you used in writing the paper, and formulating your own theories, opinions, or thoughts on the subject, no matter where they came from. There's only two reasons for not doing that. Either you're too stupid to know how to do it, or you deliberately chose to deceive, by stealing someone else's words, and pretend they are your own.
The Race Card is so overused at this point along with microagressions and other anti-white slog fests that I am actually glad she’s screeching about it.
“I covered that in the ‘because they’re idiots’ part...”
I EXPLAINED why they were idiots.
She should have never been made a professor, much less president.
Then she blames racism and hate. She needs to look into the mirror.
Call with job offer from the communists i the WH: 3...2...1...
“She should learn a useful skill.”
Can’t she go back to being a tenured professor at Harvard?
I did not hear anyone blame her incompetence on the color of her skin.
She is a victim of her own racism…so she really is a victim of racism.
It sounds kind of chicken before the egg…but is it?
She grew up indoctrinated by the True racists that are in academia…affirmative action and all that.
She is a plantation nagger boss…truly a house maid for the so called elites.
Racism bit her on the ass because she took it in.
I hope she turns to Jesus now.
