[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Looks like Bill Ackman isn't satisfied with Prof. Gay resigning--now he wants the whole Harvard board to resign as well as for Harvard's DEI office to be shut down and its staff fired.

Putting aside how folks feel about anti-semitism, DEI, and the Gay debacle in general, is anyone else bothered that a billionaire hedge-fund manager/donor has so much power? I know colleges routinely have to prostitute themselves to get money from rich donors but where does it stop?

No. I applaud when the wealthy and powerful use their resources to do the right thing. More people like Bill need to be speaking out against DEI. For too long too many billionaires have seen it as a useful distraction to the more serious class issues which actually could put their billions at risk. [/quote]

Right thing for whom? Unfortunately, in today's world the "right thing" doesn't benefit everyone and is mostly done to improve the lot of only your community. so, yeah, if you are Jewish then he comes across as a pretty good guy because he is doing things that favors the Jewish community, if you aren't Jewish then tough luck![/quote]
