Read previewFrom excitement to frustration, Harvard University students had mixed reactions to the bombshell Tuesday resignation of the Ivy League school's embattled president, Claudine Gay.
AdvertisementSome Harvard students hailed Gay's resignation, while others viewed it as a submission to powerful donors and political figures.
"I think it is, if anything, too late," said Alex Bernat, a junior at the elite Massachusetts university, told The New York Times.
