Harvard’s recently-resigned President Claudine Gay, facing plagiarism allegations, is expected to earn nearly $900,000 annually upon returning to a faculty position at the university.
Her resignation marks the shortest Harvard presidency in history.
Gay expressed her commitment to combat bias and hate, and to promote open inquiry and free expression. (Trending: Donald Trump Breaks His Silence After Major Court Win)
Before her presidency, Gay earned over $800,000 as a Dean.
The interim president is expected to be Harvard’s provost, Dr. Alan Garber.
“I believe in the people of Harvard because I see in you the possibility and the promise of a better future. These last weeks have helped make clear the work we need to do to build that future—to combat bias and hate in all its forms, to create a learning environment in which we respect each other’s dignity and treat one another with compassion, and to affirm our enduring commitment to open inquiry and free expression in the pursuit of truth,” Gay wrote.
“I believe we have within us all that we need to heal from this period of tension and division and to emerge stronger. I had hoped with all my heart to lead us on that journey, in partnership with all of you.”
“As I now return to the faculty, and to the scholarship and teaching that are the lifeblood of what we do, I pledge to continue working alongside you to build the community we all deserve,” Gay said.
