He won’t lead Crimson, but green shouldn’t be a problem.
Outgoing Harvard President Claudine Gay is still likely to earn nearly $900,000 a year despite having to step down as the school’s top administrator.
A gay political science professor — who resigned amid allegations he did not do enough to combat antisemitism and academic plagiarism on Tuesday — will now return to a post on the Cambridge, Mass., school’s faculty.
Before being named president just six months ago, Gay earned $879,079 as Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences in 2021 and $824,068 in 2020, according to records published by the university.
His new position was not disclosed Tuesday, but he is expected to receive a salary comparable to what he received before — if not higher.
It’s also unclear how much of his roughly $1 million presidential salary Gay will be entitled to after serving only six months in the post.
His predecessor, Lawrence Bacow, was pulling in $1.3 million annually before his departure, according to the Harvard Crimson.
Alan M. Garber, who currently serves as provost and chief academic officer, will serve as interim president until the school selects a new leader, officials said Tuesday.

House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik — a Harvard graduate who has emerged as Gay’s chief critic — tore into the decision to allow him to remain on the faculty.
Stefanik argued that Gay’s accusations of plagiarism were a permanent stain that damaged the school’s legitimacy.
“He’s not fit to be a faculty member,” Stefanik told The Post.
“It is unacceptable when you have students at Harvard who are about to be expelled for plagiarism to allow a faculty member who has almost 50 instances of plagiarism in their very thin body of academic work. It makes no sense and everyone knows it. Harvard knows too.”

A member of Harvard’s student Honor Council also accused administrators of having different ethical standards for faculty and students.
“Gays are easy to get away with,” the anonymous student told the school paper, noting the simple omission of quotation marks or the absence of a citation can result in serious consequences such as a term of probation and the stripping of a student’s “good standing” status.
In the wake of Gay’s departure, there were rumblings that the board that was openly stuck by him to the end should also be shaken up.

Visiting Chemist Frank Laukien singled out billionaire Chicago hotelier and Harvard Corporation Senior Fellow Penny Pritzker, telling the New York Times he should “share accountability and resign immediately.”
He added in an email: “We need some new independent members of the Harvard Corporation who are not tainted by recent events and failures, and who are not part of the cronyism that has long existed at the top of Harvard.”
Gay — who said he is stepping down to allow the school to stabilize amid the firestorm — added in his resignation statement that he looks forward to returning to a faculty position “and to the scholarship and teaching that is at the heart of what we do.”
