Harvard University announced on Thursday that its 30th president would be #ClaudineGay, the dean of Harvard’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
She will be the first Black leader of Harvard, and the second woman to hold the position, succeeding Lawrence S. Bacow.
Dr. Gay will take office in July 2023, just as the university faces a pivotal Supreme Court decision that may force it to revise its longstanding admissions processes, which have been criticized for considering factors that favor white and wealthy candidates while also using affirmative action to bolster enrollment by Black and Hispanic students.
We can’t wait to see her in action! Congratulations! #BWLM💕
