Harvard President Claudine Gay has created an “antisemitism advisory board” following intense criticism over the university’s failure to condemn its pro-terror students after the deadly attacks in Israel earlier this month.
“As we grapple with this resurgence of bigotry, I want to make one thing absolutely clear: Antisemitism has no place at Harvard,” Gay said at a Shabbat dinner hosted by Harvard Hillel, a Jewish campus group, on Friday.
“For years, this university has done too little to confront its continuing presence. No longer,” the Harvard president added.
Initially, Harvard leadership remained silent in the wake of the attacks, and only issued a statement as backlash was increasing.
Gay said she has assembled a group of faculty, staff, alumni, and Jewish religious leaders “whose wisdom, experience, and counsel will help guide us forward.”

Gay’s announcement came nearly three weeks after more than 30 of its student groups responded to a terrorist attack against Israel by the Iranian-backed Palestinian terror group Hamas with a pro-terror statement.
