That isn’t going to happen. They might posture now but it’s not going to last.

Not to mention it’s a bad look for Jews to use their hedge fund money as tools to fight against antisemitism. Isn’t one of the antisemitic tropes something about Jews controlling the money?

It took till this moment to have such an epiphany?

Uh, already did. Several billionaires already pulled out of Harvard. I'm alum and watching closely

When I interned at the White House in the late 90s, I know the office I was in said they did not particularly care for elite college interns because they thought they were too good for the work there.

OMG. Someone who heard someone say something in "the late 90s" and felt it was worthy of being repeated here in 2023!.

So you were in the Bill Clinton white house. HAHAHAHA! What an idiot. And both he and Hilary were Ivy. WHO WERE BOTH ELITE COLLEGE GRADS!

Look, there is an arrogance to certain college students on the whole that makes them think they are better than others and above certain types of work.

That is what my anecdote was referring to.

Like we don’t see this arrogance all over this board daily? Please

As I said, it will be temporary. And it’s beyond ironic.

And don’t bother showing me that dumb NY Post article.

Harvard’s endowment is $51 billion. Withholding some annual donations isn’t material.

DP. Are you joking? What other tools are at their disposal? Apparently, the only thing that gets results is withholding funding. Why on earth would a Jewish person - or any pro-Israel person - simply GIVE millions of dollars to an institution that has no intention of protecting Jewish students?

DP. So you say now. However, their endowment is their largest source of revenue. As more donors stop writing checks, they could be looking at financial issues.

The endowment is money already donated.

Harvard's budget last year was $6B. About $3B was "philanthropy", including $2.2B from the endowment, of which about $1B was gains. (Only 2% last year).

$560m was new gifts.

If gifts disappeared completely, forever, Harvard would have to lean harder on investment earnings drawdown of endowment. Budget is currently 14% of the $50B endowment, but only half that (7% of $50B) from endowment and gifts.

Or shrink budget. Harvard budget has doubled in the past 15 years, much faster than inflation. (Harvard owns real estate, and isn't paying for expensive new housing like Millennials and some Zoomers are).

Harvard is still forever.

Because people don't believe your nonsense and because there are non-Zionist and anti-Zionist billionaires too. As far as "owning America", the House of Saud is giving "the Jews" a run for their money
They are already buying our sports like LIV.

Do you have any idea what sort of income $51 billion throws off?

The donors have an inflated sense of their value.

And like I said, it’s bloody ironic. Fine, stop donating. No need to make announcements about it. No one cares.

And screw Bill Ackman, that whiny little beeyotch. Who would work for that guy anyway.

Do you know what an Intern is? Bill Clinton wasn't an intern there. He kept the intern under his desk.
