500 Harvard members support President Gay amid 'genocide of Jews' controversy

After a congressional hearing on antisemitism at Harvard University, more than 500 faculty members express support for President Claudine Gay. The Harvard Corporation is deliberating on a public statement in her support. University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill resigns, while MIT's executive committee shows full support for their president. In response to mounting pressure, a letter signed by 511 Harvard faculty members emphasizes the importance of academic freedom and preserving a culture of free inquiry. Critics argue that university leadership decisions should not be influenced by alumni or politicians.
