Bill Ackman has claimed that Harvard president Claudine Gay was only appointed because she fitted the DEI office's criteria, after her shameful refusal to denounce campus protests calling for a Jewish genocide.

The 57-year-old billionaire hedge funder has been heavily involved in the debate after expressing his views about Gay clearly on social media and calling for her resignation.

Must be nice to have FU money so one call tell the truth and not worry about being cancelled.

I see the DEI all over her. Harvard is a joke, it’s living off it’s past to get students.

[Singermom]

Notice how they were all women and kept repeating the same sentences over and over. What a waste.

[PGR88]

This is what 60 years of “affirmative action” and leftist race-pandering have brought - people will always wonder if blacks got a particular position because of ability, or racial and woke pandering

[Attention Surplus Disorder]

That was quite the blockbuster letter he wrote to the president of Harvard the other day.

Well duh...

So tired of hearing about this Liberal who voted for the very people allowing for the open hatred of Jews and pushing for more illegals, especially from muslim countries..Chuckie Schumer, DNC, DSCC etc. It’s been open season on white people for years, especially men, so cry me a river. You reap what you sow.

Except for one they were all AWFLs (affluent, white. female liberals).

[Salman]

Sure that's why she was appointed, but her political opinions are exactly those of the trustees of Harvard.

Her only failure was saying it out loud where donors could hear.

The really can be no walking this back by firing her.

[silent majority rising]

I wish that the Congresscritters had asked her if she really believed what she is saying, does she mind of white supremacists protesting on the Harvard Campus because they are so concerned about free speech?

[cgbg]

Harvard has a long history of appointing leftist kooks as Presidents—she is just “acting white”.

[Billthedrill]

What we have here is that the presidents of three of the ostensibly best educational institutions in the country are fuzzy on whether incitement to commit murder constitutes protected speech. One would expect that most elementary schoolteachers would be able to answer that one without undue reflection. (Although one might be very wrong about that these days.) The most ardent champions of free speech can tell the difference between “He’s wrong” and “Kill him.” If these mighty exemplars of DEI virtue can’t, then they need to resign.

[BillyBonebrake]

Ackman is a regular Sherlock Holmes.

[Altura Ct.]

Our country is full of DEI bulls**t

Watched that hearing(?) with Ms. Gay & was suitably unimpressed with her. The school is not gaining any points by keeping her around. Just my opinion.
