Excerpt: Bill Ackman is the billionaire hedge-fund manager who not only publicized the drop of donations to Harvard because of its purported antisemitism, but also helped bring down President Claudine Gay. But he’s also a double Harvard alum.
Apparently Ackman gave an invited talk about the Harvard Corporation, couched in financial jargon. There are 49 slides, and they pretty much encompass his thesis, which is that Harvard has become a business aimed not at providing a quality education to students, but to enriching the Corporation, and its mission has changed from promoting learning to pushing a “progressive” ideology. In the process, it’s become woke and bloated with administrators. But Ackman does seem some glimmers of hope on the horizon.
