Claudine Gay announced on Tuesday that she is stepping down as Harvard president. Provost Alan M. Garber ’76, Harvard’s chief academic officer, will serve as interim president effective immediately.

Gay will return to the Harvard faculty, where she has served as a professor of government since 2006.

She has devoted her career to an institution whose ideals and priorities she has worked tirelessly to advance, and we are grateful for the extraordinary contributions she has made — and will continue to make — as a leader, a teacher, a scholar, a mentor, and an inspiration to many.”
