An Israeli billionaire says he and his wife are quitting the board of Harvard University's famous Kennedy School of Business over the school's president's response to the surprise Hamas attacks in Israel.
Idan Ofer is the founder of Eastern Pacific Shipping reportedly worth over $14billion, according to Forbes. His wife Batia is an art collector and the descendant of Holocaust survivors.
Batia Ofer told the Hebrew-language outlet TheMarker that she and her husband are both quitting the school's executive board over President Claudine Gay's response to 31 Harvard organizations signing a letter placed the blame on Israel for Hamas' brutal attacks that have killed over 1,500.

Good.
It seems Harvard's Admission Office is doing a piss poor job.
These students are ethically and morally deficient. Under no circumstances can one condone and promote Hamas’ savage brutality.
Uh, no. It is the Kennedy School of Government, which is separate from the Harvard Business School.
Good.
Now pull all of your funding commitments and convince your like-minded associates to follow suit.
That's, sadly, the key. Money talks where ethics and morals don't exist.
But when you sell your soul to the devil, you don't do things because they are right, but because they are (usually) financially expedient.
Harvard is a strong supporter of the murdering barbarians of Hamas.
It is time to CLOSE HARVARD PERMANENTLY.
The gigantic endowments of Harvard, exceeding 50 billion dollars, should be immediately SEIZED BY THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT as funds used by AN ORGANIZATION OPERATING IN SUPPORT OF INTERNATIONAL TERRORISM AND MURDER.
Battle lines are being drawn....
Choose your side and choose carefully
Your Rat neighbor will continue to vote Rat
IIRC, it’s the Kennedy School of Government, not business.
This is good, but they should’ve known their leftist “friends” were rank with anti-Semitism.
Amazes me how extremely wealthy people can be so blind sometimes.
You’ve got to be kidding me.... That THING is the president of Harvard? Really????
When it hits home they do something about it, when it has to do with the rot, woke ideology, BLM, racial justice, DEI, commie Marxist socialist fascist activism anything that destroys American foundations they do nothing but flood these institutions with money
I missed your comment before I made my similar one down below yours. I blame a lack of coffee on my part.;-)
Good!
Any post at 4:55 am (my time) without coffee is commendable.
Seriously?
If they were on the board, could they not get her removed?
Sorry, misgendered them. Could they not get IT removed?
It’s hard to believe that these people are just waking up to what’s been going on at Harvard for decades.
