    Harvard President Claudine Gay resigned Tuesday amid mounting criticism of her scholarship and leadership on the campus.

    “It is with a heavy heart but a deep love for Harvard that I write to share that I will be stepping down as president,” Gay wrote in a letter.

    The decision came at a tumultuous time at Harvard as well as universities across the country, as the Israel-Gaza war intensifies divisions, protests, complaints of bigotry and concerns about safety on campus.

    Gay faced complaints about how she initially handled those tensions, and her remarks during a December congressional hearing about antisemitism on college campuses aroused intense criticism.

    In October, in response to questions from the New York Post about her scholarship, university officials said Gay asked the Harvard Corporation to conduct an independent review.

    The board announced that Gay would request corrections to some work to include missing citations or quotations, but it said that she did not conduct research misconduct.
