He’s right in every regard, but that letter is too long. Donors need to start witholding their funding and in turn, use that money to fund endless civil rights litigation against Harvard and the students impacted. That is all these people understand.
“...but that letter is too long.”
I’ve heard it said that crazy people often write very long letters.
I once received a 10 page letter from a contractor, with detailed information about all kinds of stupid stuff regarding introspection, guiding principles and promises we were to make, plus he wanted a signed copy of this “agreement” with his insanity. Needless to say I found another contractor.
How's this
"You folks better learn to let my daughter be or I'll learn ya'all myself. Sincerely, Cowboy Tex"
“”but that letter is too long.””
I’d be interested in the word count of that letter. Somewhere along the way, he was not taught to be brief and succinct to get his point across. No one is going to pay attention to any complaint/criticism that couldn’t be expressed in as few words as possible. I started out reading it and gave up about 1/3 of the way through.
And Penn and all the other Ivies participating in this DEI-led travesty.

You and I are on the same page. I read Akman’s letter twice. He mentions defunding the University in a way that makes the rest of his demands sound unserious.
He mentions the University is flirting with the loss of Title VI funds in three sentences and devotes one sentence concerning the potential loss of Alumni endowments. As you said money talks.
All I would have said, “you’re the president of supposedly one of the finest universities on the planet, you know what’s wrong and how to fix it. Fix it or I will stop all endowments and grants plus I will lead the effort to organize a defunding mechanism for all of Harvard’s benefactors!”
