The U.S. House of Representatives passed a bipartisan resolution Wednesday calling for the resignation of Harvard President Claudine Gay in light of her controversial congressional testimony on campus antisemitism last week.
The measure, which was adopted in a 303-126 vote, also requests the resignation of MIT President Sally A. Kornbluth, who testified at last week’s hearing alongside Gay and University of Pennsylvania President Elizabeth Magill.
A Harvard spokesperson declined to comment on the passage of the House resolution.
Magill resigned on Saturday in the wake of backlash to her remarks, but Gay and Kornbluth still remain in office. “One down. Two to go,” Stefanik wrote in a post on X in the wake of Magill’s resignation.
However, the Harvard Corporation — the University’s highest governing body — broke its silenceTuesday morning and publicly backed Gay, saying they “unanimously stand in support” of her presidency. MIT’s governing board released a public statement backing Kornbluth last Thursday.
Sponsored by Rep. Elise M. Stefanik ’06 (R-N.Y.), the House resolution denounces the three presidents’ comments at last week’s hearing as “evasive and dismissive” and says Kornbluth and Gay ought to follow Magill in stepping down.
Stefanik’s viral exchange with Gay at the hearing over whether or not calling for the genocide of Jews would constitute a breach of Harvard’s policies on bullying and harassment put her at the forefront of the congressional battle against Harvard and other elite universities’ handling of antisemitism on their campuses.

RELATED: New York Post: When Confronted with Proof of President Claudine Gay’s Plagiarism, Harvard Lawyered Up
Published December 13, 2023
Harvard reportedly covered up a high-level investigation into whether the Ivy League university’s embattled president, Claudine Gay, had previously engaged in plagiarism. Moreover, the school also “threatened” the New York Post with “an expensive law firm” in response to the media outlet’s probe into the matter.
The university spent weeks failing to acknowledge that Gay had been under investigation, remaining quiet as the Harvard president issued a disastrous testimony on the topic of antisemitism last week at a congressional hearing, according to a report by New York Post.
Then on Tuesday, after fresh allegations were raised, Harvard admitted that it had previously investigated Gay with regards to plagiarism, and that the probe began started in late October, after the school “became aware” of the allegations against its president.
“But the statement did not tell the full story — including how Harvard called in bulldog attorneys to protect Gay,” the New York Post reported.

RELATED: Is THIS why Harvard PROTECTED President Gay from plagiarism scandal?
Published December 13, 2023
The Harvard board has promised to let Harvard president Claudine Gay keep her job, despite multiple scandals. On one hand, she has been criticized for failing to say that calls for Jewish genocide violate Harvard’s policies.
And then, there’s her plagiarism scandal. But is this just a random attack dug up by conservatives trying to take her down? Washington Free Beacon staff writer Aaron Sibarium joins Glenn to explain why this is not the case at all.
Harvard has known about President Gay’s plagiarism scandal for months — and even hired “the best defamation law firm in the country” to try and shut the media’s reporting efforts down. But why go through all this trouble to protect her? Aaron explains his theory and also breaks down why these alleged instances of plagiarism are so serious.
