Billboard trucks deployed to Harvard demanding president Claudine Gay be fired

Billboard trucks calling for Harvard President Claudine Gay to be fired were seen circling the Massachusetts campus on Sunday, following the resignation of University of Pennsylvania President Liz Magill.

The privately-funded trucks read “FIRE GAY” and were accompanied by photos of Gay during her appearance before Congress last week, according to Fox News.

The Havard president, Magill and Massachusetts Institute of Technology President Sally Kornbluth have been under criticism after failing to condemn students’ calls for the genocide of Jews.

One truck was seen driving around the campus, while another was positioned at the school’s main gate blaring Gay’s exchange with New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, in which the Harvard president said calls for genocide only qualify as harassment or bullying “depending on the context.”

The unidentified private funder of the billboards will also deploy a plane over campus later this week with a banner reading: “HARVARD — STOP JEW HATRED,” Fox News reports.

“One down, two to go,” the private funder told Fox.

His remarks echoed those of Stefanik, who called on Harvard and MIT to “do the right thing” in the aftermath of Magill’s resignation.

She warned that the two schools can now “anticipate a robust and comprehensive Congressional investigation of all facets of their institutions’ negligent perpetration of antisemitism including administrative, faculty, funding and overall leadership and governance.”

The group StopAntisemitism also wrote, “Let’s hope Harvard’s President Gay is next.”

The Harvard president has also faced pressure to resign internally, with a prominent rabbi at the school quitting its antisemitism committee.

“The system at Harvard along with the ideology that grips far too many of the students and faculty, the ideology that works only along axes of oppression and places Jews as oppressors and therefore intrinsically evil, is itself evil,” David Wolpe wrote.

He praised Gay as a “kind and thoughtful” person but said her congressional comments were “painfully inadequate” in addressing spiraling antisemitism on the Cambridge campus and elsewhere.

In response to the backlash for her testimony, Gay apologized for her remarks.

“I am sorry. Words matter,” Gay said during an interview with the Harvard Crimson on Thursday.

“When words amplify distress and pain, I don’t know how you could feel anything but regret,” she added.

But as the trucks circled on Sunday, the Harvard Corporation and the Board of Overseers convened Sunday to discuss Gay’s leadership, the backlash to her response to Congress and whether the school should issue a public statement, according to the Harvard Crimson.

The Post has reached out to Harvard for comment.
