Harvard Faculty Calls for Board Resignations over Gay

Harvard University faculty are calling for members of its governing board to step down as a way to reset the university as it struggles with historic reputational damage and demands for the resignation of embattled Harvard President Claudine Gay. …

Several professors interviewed said the board’s run of avoidable errors began with Gay’s selection as president last December.

They worried she was hired without the proper vetting or experience.

[*Now* they’re worried? Is that only because it got made so obvious and public? It’s not as though Gay had a lengthy CV when the board hired her; her publishing record would barely have qualified for tenure at some institutions, let alone a first shot as a university president at Harvard. Either they qualify for a Captain Louis Renault award or they didn’t bother to pay attention themselves. — Ed]
