"Congressional Pressure Mounts as Ivy League Presidents Face Resignation Demands"

Over 70 members of Congress, largely Republicans, have demanded the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay, along with MIT President Sally A. Kornbluth and University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill, in a letter to University governing board members. The demand comes after Gay's testimony on antisemitism on college campuses received backlash for not unequivocally condemning calls for the genocide of Jews. The letter calls for immediate removal of the presidents and an actionable plan to ensure the safety of Jewish and Israeli students, teachers, and faculty on campus.
