Harvard University President Claudine Gay has resigned amid plagiarism accusations and criticism over testimony at a congressional hearing where she was unable to say unequivocally that calls on campus for the genocide of Jews would violate the school's conduct policy. Gay announced her departure, which came just months into her tenure, in a letter to the Harvard community on Tuesday. She and the presidents of MIT and the University of Pennsylvania came under fire last month for their lawyerly answers to a line of questioning from New York Rep. Elise Stefanik, who asked whether calling for the genocide of Jews would violate the colleges' code of conduct.

WASHINGTON — Inflation in the United States slowed last month in a sign that the Federal Reserve's interest rate hikes are continuing to cool the consumer price spikes that have bedeviled consumers for the past two years. Tuesday's report from the Labor Department showed that prices either fell or rose only slowly across a broad range of goods and services, including gas, new and used cars, hotel rooms and housing. Overall inflation was unchanged from September to October, down from the 0.4% jump the previous month. Compared with 12 months ago, consumer prices rose 3.2% in October, down from the 3.7% rise in September and the smallest year-over-year increase since June.
NEW YORK — House Speaker Mike Johnson has endorsed Donald Trump for president, a move that was a symbolic departure from his ousted predecessor leading the House. Johnson is an ally and defender of the former president. He said in an interview on CNBC Tuesday morning, "I have endorsed him wholeheartedly." His predecessor Kevin McCarthy was a longtime Trump ally but stopped short of formally backing Trump's third White House bid. McCarthy was ousted by a hard-right band of fellow Republicans late last month. Johnson became McCarthy's eventual successor and his formal endorsement of front-runner Trump charts the course for other House Republicans.
