Harvard University President Claudine Gay is expected to resign on Tuesday afternoon, the report said, citing anonymous sources.
According to the Ivy League school's newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, Gay's resignation marks the end of the shortest tenure as Harvard's president in the school's history.
The Boston Globe also reported on Gay's expected resignation, citing sources who said Harvard University President Dr. Alan Garber would become interim president.

Gay, along with the presidents of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania, weighed in at a House Education and Labor hearing last month on whether calls for an intifada and on-campus massacres of Jews violate the institutions' codes of conduct and anti-bullying policies. Because they did not make this clear, they faced severe opposition. And harassment.
The hearing comes in the wake of a rise in anti-Semitism at American universities following the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack in southern Israel.
Gay was also at the center of a scandal in which he was accused of multiple plagiarisms of academic works.
