Bill Ackman, In Latest Salvo Against Ivy League, Says Harvard President Is Ignoring the Brutality of Hamas Attacks
The Ivy League-educated billionaire hedge fund manager has made it his mission to tackle antisemitism on college campuses since the October 7 war began.
The billionaire hedge fund manager Bill Ackman is ramping up his public pressure campaign on Ivy League schools, specifically Harvard’s president, Claudine Gay, after she declined to attend a viewing of footage from the October 7 attack in southern Israel. Mr. Ackman is a leading figure among wealthy Americans who are calling for a divestment from their prestigious alma maters.
On Monday, the Israeli ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, and the president of Harvard Chabad, Rabbi Hirschy Zarchi, will host a viewing of footage taken by Hamas terrorists as they attacked a music festival and small communities in southern Israel. Mr. Ackman will be in attendance, and has called on Ms. Gay to do the same.
