- Claudine Gay resigned as president of Harvard after only six months in the job
- Gay’s salary as president of Harvard is unspecified but earned $879,079 in 2021
Outgoing Harvard president Claudine Gay will retain a salary of around $900,000-a-year from the university, despite being forced to resign amid a plagiarism scandal.
Gay, 53, resigned on Tuesday after months of questions about her leadership.
She will remain a member of the university staff and return to a teaching role at the department of political science, and keep a similar salary.
Gay had only taken up the role on July 1, and her exact salary is yet to be disclosed on tax forms. Her predecessor, Lawrence S. Bacow, earned more than $1.3 million in calendar year 2021, The Crimson reported in May.
Over the same time frame, Gay – then the dean of the faculty of art and sciences – earned $879,079, up from the $824,068 reported in 2020.
Gay will now return to a role within the political science department, and will retain a salary on the same level as while she was president, The New York Post reported.
