Senator Warren Respects Decision For Harvard President To Resign

Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren said she respects Claudine Gay's decision to resign the presidency at Harvard University.

Gay stepped down last week over alleged plagiarism and her testimony before a congressional committee regarding campus anti-Semitism at Harvard.

In a weekend interview with Channel 5, Warren claimed conservative activists pressured Gay to resign.

She said universities should follow their own policies when facing difficult decisions.
