Harvard University will keep Alan Garber as its president until mid-2027, giving him three more years in the job after he took over as interim leader when Claudine Gay resigned in January.
A “full-scale search for his eventual successor” will start in the late spring or early summer of 2026, Harvard said in a statement Friday. Garber, a 69-year-old physician and economist, had previously served as university provost at the oldest and richest US college.
