Barack Obama Reportedly Intervened To Help Save President Gay At Harvard
Former President Barack Obama reportedly intervened to try to help save Harvard President Claudine Gay as she faced calls to step down.Gay testified alongside University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill and Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth in which the three refused to say if calling for the genocide of Jews violated the college’s code of conduct during a House Education Committee hearing.
Gay has since faced numerous calls to step down.
Obama, a Harvard graduate himself, allegedly lobbied on Gay’s behalf, Jewish Insider reported citing “a source familiar with the matter.”

"My entire career, I’ve been teaching students it’s wrong to do what Gay did, and I expect most writing teachers have done the same..."
Three ways to resolve this conundrum:
- 1.) Lower the standards for everyone to accommodate Harvard's President
- 2.) Fire Harvard's President in order to preserve the standard applied to everyone
- 3.) Be hypocrites and maintain one standard for Harvard's president and another for everyone else
