Former Harvard President Claudine Gay, who resigned on Tuesday, has revealed she faced death threats and was repeatedly called the N-word in recent weeks as a right-wing effort to oust her intensified over her handling of campus protests and her past academic research. Claudine Gay had become Harvard’s first Black president just six months ago. In an op-ed in The New York Times, she wrote, “They recycled tired racial stereotypes about Black talent and temperament. They pushed a false narrative of indifference and incompetence.” She also wrote, “This was merely a single skirmish in a broader war to unravel public faith in pillars of American society.”
