Alan Gerber

Alan Gerber, a prominent 69-year-old health policy expert and Harvard alumnus, recently made headlines as the interim president of Harvard University after the resignation of Claudine Gay. He successfully stabilized the campus and was appointed the permanent president. Gerber has emerged as a central figure in the resistance against Donald Trump's attempts to exert control over American institutions, notably rejecting the administration's demands that would compromise Harvard's academic freedom. His assertive response to these pressures has garnered significant public support, positioning him as a symbol of opposition to Trump's influence over universities.
