Claudine Gay has been in an ejection seat since her hearing, a few weeks ago, in Congress. She becomes the second university president to resign amid the war in Gaza. Her presidency, the first by a black woman, was the shortest in the university's history: just six months. The president of the University of Pennsylvania, who was also interviewed and who also gave a similar answer, resigned. He was accused of plagiarism linked to his academic work, relayed by a right-wing website.
