Harvard University alumnus and billionaire William 'Bill' Ackman sent a lengthy letter to the school's president Saturday regarding antisemitism on campus.
Billionaire Bill Ackman sent a lengthy letter to the president of his alma mater regarding antisemitism on campus, and shared it publicly on social media. "I am writing this letter to you regretfully," Ackman posted to X, formerly known as Twitter, on Nov. 4. The hedge fund manager calls out Harvard President Claudine Gay for sending "a clear message that the eliminationist and antisemitic statements of the protesters are permissible on campus.
She continued by saying members of the Harvard community have a choice to either "fan the flames of division and hatred" or to "try to be a force for something different and better." "People have asked me where we stand. So let me be clear. Our university rejects terrorism. That includes the barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas. Our university rejects hate. Hate of Jews. Hate of Muslims.
If you were managing a business, would you hire someone who blamed the despicable violent acts of a terrorist group on the victims? I don’t think so. Would you hire someone who was a member of a school club who issued a statement blaming lynchings by the KKK on their victims? I don’t think so," Ackman wrote. FOX Business has reached out to President Gay and the Harvard media relations team for comment regarding the letter.
