Claudine Gay (born August 4, 1970) is an American political scientist who is the 30th president of Harvard University. Assuming office in 2023, she became the university's first Black president 368 years after its founding.
Prior to becoming the university's president, she served as the Edgerley Family Dean of Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the Wilbur A. Cowett Professor of Government and of African and African-American Studies. Gay's research addresses American political behavior, including voter turnout and politics of race and identity.
Gay's role as Harvard's president came under international media attention following the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel, when Gay faced accusations of failing to adequately condemn the attacks. In a subsequent congressional hearing in December 2023 on antisemitism, Gay's response drew criticism for responses that were perceived as evasive.
