Following the resignation of former University President Claudine Gay early last month, Harvard University has seen significant administrative changes. Harvard Extension School students, led by advocates such as Kirsten O. Agbenyega, are calling for a president who promotes equality across all Harvard schools. Harvard has appointed Law School Dean John Manning '82 as Interim Provost, a move reported by @HaidarEmma & @cam_kettles. President Garber emphasized Manning's role in advancing institutional neutrality and key University initiatives, including forthcoming efforts to explore various areas. Additionally, Law Professor John C.P. Goldberg, whom some may not be familiar with, has been appointed as the interim Law School Dean, following Manning's new appointment. Manning, known for his clerical work for conservative judges Robert Bork and Antonin Scalia, is seen as a move by Harvard towards a more centrist position, with observers like @realchrisrufo noting that this is just the beginning of applying pressure for change.
