Embattled Harvard University President Claudine Gay launched an advisory board to combat antisemitism on campus following pro-Palestinian protests in the wake of Hamas’ deadly ambush during an Israeli music festival.
Gay has come under fire for her slow response in condemning the Oct. 7 massacre — and for backing student groups that signed onto a letter saying Israel was “entirely responsible” for the Hamas attack that killed more than 1,400 people.
“For years, this University has done too little to confront its continuing presence,” Gay continued. “No longer.” The Harvard group behind the controversial letter that blamed Israel for Hamas’ bloody terrorist attack held a “die-in” on campus last Wednesday to protest “genocide in Gaza.” The letter was condemned by some Harvard students and professors, as well as deep-pocketed donors — including Jewish philanthropic organization the Wexner Foundation, which donated $12 million to Harvard’s Kennedy School before 2012 alone.
