AdvertisementClaudine Gay's resignation as Harvard president makes her six-month term the shortest in the school's history, according to historical data on Harvard's website.
Gay began her tenure as school president in July last year, becoming Harvard's first Black president and its second-ever female president.
While Alan Garber, the school's chief academic officer, is now serving as interim president, Gay isn't leaving Harvard entirely.
Liz Magill, who testified before Congress alongside Gay about antisemitism concerns while president of University of Pennsylvania, has since resigned from her post.
