| Summary: | The ongoing cultural debate surrounding the roles of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and environmental, societal, and governance (ESG) policies in business reached a boiling point in early 2024 when Harvard University President Dr. Claudine Gay resigned following unsubstantiated accusations of plagiarism and antisemitism. The campaign against Dr. Gay was mounted predominately by Harvard leaders and donors who felt Gay's focus on leading change by way of DEI and ESG policies was politically rather than business motivated. This case covers the controversy and asks students to discuss its fallout in terms of leadership, governance, and DEI in organizations. |
