The president of Harvard University will resign Tuesday, the prestigious US school's newspaper reported, after she faced criticism over allegations of plagiarism and her handling of anti-Semitism on campus.

"Harvard President Claudine Gay will resign Tuesday afternoon, bringing an end to the shortest presidency in the University's history, according to a person with knowledge of the decision," the student-run Harvard Crimson reported.

The university did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
