Former Harvard President Claudine Gay disputed plagiarism accusations and blamed her resignation on racism, lies, and anxiety projection in a Wednesday New York Times op-ed.
“My hope is that by stepping down I will deny demagogues the opportunity to further weaponize my presidency in their campaign to undermine the ideals animating Harvard since its founding: excellence, openness, independence, truth,” she wrote.
The Ivy League university announced Tuesday that Gay will resign as president after just over six months in office, as The College Fix reported.
