Claudine Gay QUITS as Harvard President but fails to mention antisemitism testimony OR plagiarism claims in sour resignation letter where she says she's been victim of racism

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.

No one is talking about what kind of deal they made for her to go.

Her globalist handlers were quite comfortable with her attacks on America and white males. That was quite acceptable... but when she bit the hand that directed her to do those things, that's a no-no.

#102 Alan M. Garber sure has a lot of credentials that do nothing for anyone except his bank account.

It should be noted that she’s being replaced by a WHITE MAN and thus a search committee must be quickly formed to come up with a new president.

"That antisemite b*tch deserves everything coming to her."
Well, now Harvard has a temporary Jewish president. Should take some of the anti-Semitic heat off them, but I suspect they'll be as "woke" otherwise as ever.

I’m not supporting her by any means but the jobs are different.

Harvard usually handles these transgressions in a better way. Maybe not a better way but a better PR way. How they let this plagiarism get out is a mystery. They knew about this long ago. Had it remained quiet she would have been history but not immediately. A lot of people all over are hoping that nobody is reading their publications carefully - especially the woke folks.

Apparently she'll still be working at the University in another capacity....therefore the real poison in the board members hasn't been eradicated.

Poison in the board members? She's exactly who they wanted. She is the one they were willing to pretend represented the rest of them who wouldn't dare show their true selves.

There's no eradication here. They're going to find someone just as bent Left as her but they'll hold the replacement to a tighter leash.

Harvard had a three-fer.

At least. She is also leftist and dishonest, so would fit in nicely.

Critical Race Theory has been etched in her dupable mind due to the persistent indoctrination of the Blacks seized onto the DemonKKKrat Plantation. One thing you can count on is that it is the DemonKKKrats who have always been the racists, are now racists and will be racists in the future. The only thing that’s different is they have taken off their KKK sheets and hid behind the false pretension of the so-called Democratic Party (BTW it is properly called the Democrat Party).

He’s just a figurehead - who by the way fully supports her - she’ll still run things.

Of course but you won’t see that.....

Obama has shown the left how it’s done.....create a coup type base and run things anyway behind the scenes. ...as long as the left has deep rooted people in place nothing will change until they’re rooted out.

She is an Affirmative Action grifting waste of oxygen. I am glad she is playing the race card, because it shows her for who she is.
