Harvard University President Claudine Gay will resign amid allegations of plagiarism, according to news reports Tuesday.
The Harvard Crimson student newspaper and the Boston Globe cited sources in articles that said Gay will step down.
Gay has been under fire for weeks because of how she has handled controversy at Harvard over the war in Gaza, and because of allegations that she failed to properly cite sources in her academic papers.
On Monday, The Free Beacon news site reported that a new unsigned complaint filed with Harvard had alleged six new allegations of plagiarism against Gay.
A spokesman for Harvard, and Gay’s office, did not immediately respond to requests for comment from CNBC.
