BREAKING: Harvard President Survives Calls For Resignation
Harvard President Claudine Gay testified before the House Committee on Education and the Workforce hoping to tell the nation how she was fighting antisemitism at Harvard. By the end of the nearly six hour hearing, she was fighting to keep her job.
Now, in news scooped by The Crimson, Harvard’s governing boards will allow Gay to stay on as university president. Our reporters were at the capitol, reporting on the testimony that fueled the calls for Gay’s resignation.
As the fallout unfolds, the reporters who got the scoop — Claire Yuan '25 and Miles J. Herszenhorn '25 — join host Frank S. Zhou '26 to dive deep into what it’s like to be in the room, how trust eroded within the university, and where Harvard is going next.
Also in this episode, reporters J. Sellers Hill '25 and Cam Kettles '26 discuss the new face of pro-Palestine protests at Harvard as the Palestine Solidarity Committee takes a back seat on protest organizing.
