Bill Ackman's Campaign Against Harvard President Continues Despite Support for Gay

Billionaire investor uses Wall Street tactics in his ongoing fight against Harvard's handling of antisemitism.

Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, known for his aggressive investment strategies, is leading a campaign against Harvard's president, Claudine Gay, accusing her of failing to address antisemitism on campus.
Ackman, a Harvard alum, has been particularly vocal about his dissatisfaction with Gay's handling of antisemitism following the October 7 Hamas attack.
Despite Ackman's relentless campaign, Harvard's board and a significant number of faculty members and alumni have rallied in support of Gay.
Ackman's tactics, which include public letters and social media posts, are reminiscent of his activist short-selling strategies in the business world.
Although Ackman has managed to stir controversy and gain support from other donors and right-wing pundits, his campaign has not yet resulted in Gay's ouster.
