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.

How many thousands of dollars is reflected in each student loan to financially sustain these pariahs?

You weren’t the victim of racism, ma’am, you were the beneficiary of it.

Plagiarism is just an offense made up by White supremacists to keep folks like her down. Maybe she’s just not light-skinned enough to get cover from that tribe. Oh well, next.

We already knew she is a liar, racist and terrorist supporting anti-semite. At least she stayed in character.

Apparently she was ordered by Harvard insiders NOT to mention it [her plagarism] in her resignation.
Else that would bring deserved heat on the Harvard board for appointing her in the first place.

I read somewhere that she is going to be giving a seminar on ethics to Biden’s cabinet.

I don’t understand why Obama’s name is even mentioned. Obama has no power at Harvard. Zero. He is another embarrassment for them.

This was baked into the cake. Utterly predictable.

No she won’t be on staff. She is leaving her administrative position and will be returning full time to her academic position.

I can only conclude that Harvard is anti-Gay.

Typical leftist black feminist....and why risky to hire them.

Plus, this one is dumber than a box of doorknobs.
She would have survived if it was just her incompetent congress testimony, but even the Marxist lackeys couldn't ignore the plagiarism charges.

The Harvard Corporation said it had accepted her resignation 'with sorrow'.

'It is with that overarching consideration in mind that we have accepted her resignation. We do so with sorrow.
'While President Gay has acknowledged missteps and has taken responsibility for them, it is also true that she has shown remarkable resilience in the face of deeply personal and sustained attacks.


Finding more and more plagiarisms and denying it doesn't make one resilient.
Taking responsibility usually means accepting consequences. She had none until she resigned.
and she's going to stay at the skewl ? are they BatSpitCrazy ?
