Harvard unfortunately renamed the Harvard Graduate School Arts and Sciences the Kenneth C. Griffin Graduate School of Arts and Sciences!!!!
I am a PhD graduate of the Harvard GSAS—the central graduate school of Harvard. I strongly object to naming GSAS after a rich donor!!!! That has NOTHING to do with Griffin’s politics, unfortunate as they are.
I graduated from the Harvard GSAS—it was not named for a rich donor then. Why should it be named for one now? Are Harvard graduate degrees that much cheapened?
I would have no objection to having four or so Griffin professorships at Harvard, as is traditional. Make them professorships in natural sciences, economics, and/or humanities—NOT ethnic studies!!!! Ethnic studies are bogus, as is the incoming Harvard president, a “black studies” “PhD”!!!!
.....Ken Griffin donated $150 million to Harvard’s economics department.....
No, he gave it to GSAS! See my post #21

I stand corrected - Griffin gave (in total) $150 million to University of Chicago economics department. A more conservative economics department for sure, but still WTF?

Again, that doesn't answer the question you asked.
The point is that I don’t know which donors you consider “globalist” since it’s obviously a term you apply only to people who oppose Trump.
How’s this one for size: Pro-abortion, pro-gay, pro-tranny, gun-grabbing, open-borders multinational-conglomerate casino magnate Sheldon Adelson?

(Gosh, maybe Adelson’s direct threat that he won’t tolerate someone who’d cut off his supply of illegal alien workers is why Trump did absolutely JACK on U.S. immigration laws.)
