Graduate describes her as” smart” and “humble.”
Claudine Gay, a former president of Harvard University, just received a “leadership and confidence” award from a group of black alumni.
The award follows Gay’s resignation in January after being criticized for her comments on campus antisemitism and many plagiarism claims.
The Crimson reported:
At its first University-wide Black students meeting in more than a decade, the Harvard Black Alumni Society presented previous Harvard President Claudine Gay with the honor for” Leadership and Courage” on Saturday.
The event was attended by thousands of students who had gathered in the Sanders Theater after receiving the award. This was the first headline address by Gay since she resigned in January.
” She’s polite, she’s smart, she’s — happily — one that also is affiliated with the University, and has pledged her aid to it to her dying day”, visitor Thomas Stewart said, according to the student newspaper. He “overlapped with Gay” at Harvard while they were both Ph. D. pupils in Government”, according to the scholar paper.
Gay’s departure came after her dejected response to questions from New York Republican Congresswoman Elise Stefanik asking if” calling for the murder of Jews” was against the rules of the classrooms. Liz Magill, president of the University of Pennsylvania, was also removed as a result of the answer.
She served for the shortest period of time, making her the first black senator in class history.
The school slotted her into a “research” program this drop, as The College Fix recently reported, despite her documented issues with citing her sources in the few scientific papers she wrote.
Gay reportedly continues to receive nearly$ 1 million in salary.
