On January 2, Harvard University President Claudine Gay released a statement announcing her resignation as president. Her term of office was only six months, and she became the most short-lived president in Harvard history.

But all the controversy did not die down with her departure from the "head" of Harvard, and Bill Ackman, a Jewish investment tycoon, is still "chasing" Gay, demanding that her salary be reduced, and accusing her "confession" essay still does not tell the truth about plagiarism.

On the 3rd, Gay published a signed article "What happens at Harvard is More important than me" in response to the controversy. Gay revealed that she has received death threats from opponents and has been called "nigger" countless times.

Gay, 53, will reportedly return to the political science department as a faculty member after stepping down as president. Her salary, estimated at a little more than $900,000 a year for the chancellorship, will remain the same. Her predecessor, Lawrence, reported annual income of more than $1.3 million during her tenure as president. Of course, after the resignation, Harvard University will take back the luxury villa provided to the president for free and give it to the next president.

Gay's high income has also led to questions from opponents. Bill Ackman, a Wall Street investment mogul and Harvard alumnus who is Jewish, said on social media, "It all makes no sense why she should remain on the faculty." In another post, Ackerman went on to question the "equality and diversity policies" of American colleges and universities, arguing that Gay, as a black woman, had been shielded from political correctness to become president.

Ackman's comments were echoed by Musk, who said that "DEI [diverse equal Identity] has become a complete byword for racism, and anyone who plays the equality card is just as shameful as playing the race card." Musk also said that the X platform (formerly Twitter) fact-tagging team did a lot of work during the Harvard storm to prevent many people from being misled by misinformation.

One of Ackerman's supporters also reminded him that Gay's "confessions" essay still did not fully offer an honest retraction on plagiarism. "She said she simply inappropriately repeated the language of other scholars, forgot to cite the source, and promptly requested a correction when reminded." In fact, she did not do so and was not notified of any revisions or corrections for many years after publication."

One American university professor used a single word, "Karma," when retweeting the news of Gay's resignation.

Guy's "Confessional" article:

This war is bigger than personal gains and losses

"My character and intelligence have been questioned. My commitment to fighting anti-Semitism was questioned. My inbox has been flooded with abuse, including death threats, and I have been called a 'nigger' more times than I can remember, so I have had to make the painful decision to resign."

This is the opening line of Guy's signature article in the press. "I hope that by stepping down, demagogues will no longer have the opportunity to further weaponize my presidency and undermine the ideals on which Harvard has stood since its founding: excellence, openness, independence, and truth," Mr. Gay said.

In her article, Gay admits that she should have taken more decisive steps to make clear to the outside world that she would not tolerate any voice of racial hatred after the outbreak of a new round of Israeli-Palestinian conflict last October. But she believes that the current turmoil at Harvard is a microcosm of a larger "culture war" in American society, and that the impact of the incident has long gone beyond her personal gains and losses. "This war is designed to undermine public confidence in the pillars of American society," Gay said.

At the end of the article, Gay says she fears that the truth will be another casualty of the storm. "Our college campuses must always be places where students can learn, share, and grow together, not places for proxy fights and political grandstanding." Universities must maintain their independence and combine courage and reason to advance the discovery of truth."
