“It is with a heavy heart but a deep love for Harvard that I write to share that I will be stepping down as President,” wrote Gay. “This is not a decision I came to easily. Indeed, it has been difficult beyond words because I have looked forward to working with as many of you to advance the commitment to academic excellence that has propelled this great university across centuries.”
