Harvard governing board faces pressure to respond to president’s congressional testimony

Harvard University's governing board faced mounting pressure on Monday to publicly declare support for or oust the university president after remarks she made last week at a congressional hearing on antisemitism. The Harvard Corporation, the university's governing body, has not yet addressed the public backlash Harvard President Claudine Gay received after her testimony. Prominent alumni and members of Congress have called for her to resign as her fellow Ivy League leader at University of Pennsylvania, who also testified to Congress last week, did on Saturday.
