Harvard President Claudine Gay said antisemitism has 'a very long and shameful history' at the university, which so far has done 'too little' to stop it.
Harvard President Claudine Gay on Friday announced the creation of an advisory council to combat antisemitism on campus after weeks of intense criticism over the university’s response to the Israel-Hamas war that broke out on Oct. 7.
Gay initially released a brief message days after the attack, stating that she condemns Hamas' attacks, but she did not explicitly denounce the student groups' controversial opinion. Following further criticism, Gay released a video message two days later saying that though the university does not 'punish or sanction' people for expressing polarizing views, it does not mean that it endorses them.
In the days following the university’s responses, a top law firm pulled job offers from students who are part of these student organizations, some prominent donors ended their relationships with the university and former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan withdrew his offer to participate in Harvard’s fellowship programs. Fox News’ Elizabeth Pritchett contributed to this report.
