Harvard President Claudin Gay resigns amid twins scandals on plagiarism and campus anti-Semitism as a Pentagon

report finds little evidence of extremism in the U.S. military.

Welcome, I'm Kyle Peterson with the Wall Street Journal.

We are joined today by my colleagues, columnist Kim Strassal, and editorial board member,

Kate Batchelder, O'Dell.

Claudine Gaze resignation on Tuesday as the president of Harvard

makes her the second Ivy League leader

to be ousted in recent weeks after Liz McGill

of the University of Pennsylvania. here is part of the letter that

Gay released, she said, quote, it has become clear that it is in the best interest of

Harvard for me to resign so that our community can navigate this moment of extraordinary challenge. of Let's listen to a new clip of Congresswoman Elise Stephanic of New York and a Harvard

grad on Fox News giving her reaction to this resignation.

She was selected as President Harvard in a shorter search, you know executive

search than any other previous president and they should have found out that

there were 50 credible allegations of plagiarism and the fact that the Harvard

corporation we now know knew about that before the congressional hearing and

tried to cover it up and threaten media outlets to sue them, it's a disgrace.

When you are a board of any university, you need to make sure that your president,

your faculty, and your students uphold the rigors of academic integrity, and instead they wanted to hide this from their students from their

community so this accountability would not have happened were it not for

the very clear moral questions at the hearing.
