- “I’m an activist, but my activism today is probably not in the corporate boardroom - it’s on campus,” Bill Ackman said on The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations on Bloomberg TV.

Yes, stop funding them! They only listen to money or the lack thereof.
Forget about twitter, many other places to keep your point of view up!
He will fail. This is America. More opportunities all over the country. He is only one man
Yes - stop funding the Z!onist state which bribes our politicians and has siphoned $300 billion of our tax dollars. The destructive Z!onist movement is the problem.
Spraking like a true fascist who hates free speech. Go back to your cave and stay there
when you cannot open your mouth or criticize massacres for decades and you are immediately accused of a misleading word then you know who leads you
I watched the Presidents of the universities named, including Harvard, testify in front of Congress, at the very least it was embarrassing. However, what I witnessed was disgusting and borderline criminal. If it wasn't, then I would argue what were all of the attorneys sitting being those testifying doing there? All I heard were canned answers to poignant and relevant questions about the rights of those aggrieved and the Presidents responding with NO ACTIONS TAKEN and NO ACTION PLANS. After this, I support the full investigation of these and other colleges and universities, especially those that receive billions in federal funding. MORE THAN JUST SAYING...
The Presidents of the universities indirectly said that a call for genocide has to be a threat directed against an individual or individuals at campus, which obviously is bull***, because it's always a threat aimed at a whole people or race and not against individuals.
Many of us have been yelling and screaming for years about this yet we get silenced by big tech or are ignored. It’s all part of the same neo-Marxist infiltration of western society that’s been happening for decades.
Ever heard of freedom of speech?
@@Vambam121 I think everyone should say what is on their mind, no matter how asinine. Then they won't have to live the life of a hypocrit, which in turn allows the rest of us to more easily identify bigots, antisemites, racists, etc...
@Vambam121 HATE SPEECH AND HATE CRIMES ARE FEDERAL OFFENSES. THEY AREN'T COVERED UNDER YOUR MAGICAL FREEDOM OF SPEECH!! SPEECH HAS CONSEQUENCES!!! TELL YOUR BOSS TO FUKK OFF AND HE WILL FIRE YOU!! OH BUT YOUR MAGICAL SPEECH DOESN'T HELP YOU IN THAT SITUATION, DOES IT?? I SUGGEST YOU STOP HARRASSING THE JEWISH PEOPLE AND STOP COMMITTING HATE CRIMES, JUNIOR!!
If you are not willing to suspend your economic support of these institutions then you sir are a part of the problem. Whether it's in your 'style' or not to threaten an institution economically is really the only takeaway worth noting. It should have been abundantly clear to you when you did not get a response from them that you should NOT continue to support them in any way at all.
Well, Ackman most certainly has done a lot for the promotion of antisemitism by financing antisemitic monsters.
I am sick and tired of idiots deciding the fate of people. .
Nothing prevented him from knowing better.

BILL ACKMAN WILL NOT BE GIVING DONATIONS TO HARVARD OR HIRING THEIR STUDENTS.
Yes. Very disappointed by his backpedaling weakness. Please don’t fund Jew- hatred
Defund Harvard!
If you don’t like free speech, please leave 🫵🏽😵
To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.
Super original
@@rosieeinhorn5257 but true!
Jews make up less than 2 and a half percent of America.
You mean the N word
@@plinnytheother6107 nah, the other one!
Bill, put A LOT of pressure to get these administrators fired! This is UNACCEPTABLE.
I tell you what's unacceptable, oppressing people is unacceptable
@@bobbyschannel349like Yemen by Saudi Arabia... 300 thousand murdered.

Goy rise up against your Zionist overlords! Billionaire slave masters like Ackman!
It's Gaza today, but it will be your city tomorrow!
@@bobbyschannel349 Slaughtering 1200 innocent Jews isn't. If you think oppression justifies that you're seriously warped.
@@palletcoloratoyou do know that israel has killed way more palestinians before Oct 7. 75 years of killing and oppressing.
Problem for the students who work incredibly hard to just get into Harvard based on its decades long reputation and when graduating will now find going into the workplace then discovering that its a negative coming from Harvard ..Thats a real shame on the management of that previously respected institution who placed their own agendas above that of the Universities reputation ..Never in my lifetime did I believe that would happen...A bloody disgrace.
😂😂😂 Seriously? Besides it is a school of nepotism it is all about the connections and the connections don't care about any of the politics, they care abiut the word Harvard.
If they got into Harvard int he first place, they're not going to starve just because the place has revealed itself for what it is. There's an old Russian proverb: Whether the water is salt or fresh, sh*t floats.
With DEI initiatives they don't want smart students, they want activities who will then infiltrate govt., corporations, and then bring in more woke weirdos.
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
😂😂😂 Fascinating that white men have more control of academia than mere women or blacks. Even more intriguing is Harvard’s roots in SLAVERY are less important. Certainly shows you who’s really in charge! 😂😂😂
All 3 of the university presidents need to go back to school and get FIRED.
No response!? That's concerning in so many ways. It's disrespectful, but deeply ungracious to someone who has been so generous. It suggests very troubled leadership, that they handled things unprofessionally, indeed neglectfully. Sir, take your funds along with other donors who share your concerns, and use it to lobby for meaningful change at Harvard. There is nothing more significant that you could do for the school right now. It is about to fall off of a precipice from greatness to mediocrity or worse.
Poor Billionaire. So sad for him.😂
I take it you're on board with the anti-Semitism?@@Matt-ru5rw
Wow! Just because the school is allowing its students to exercise their free speech and they happen to be critical of the oppressing group of people, all of a sudden all these Ivy universities are going to lose their status? Get efff out here!
I'm sorry your feelings are hurt just because we are letting you know you are a violent group of people occupying a land in middle east.
@@Matt-ru5rw they aren't entitled to his money
@@julianvega2677 OK. Why are you caping for a useless billionaire whining about his fee fees being hurt?
Thank you, Bill.
He mist be an Israeli
@@dooluv5769and you must be an Islamist
Interestingly there is no anti Muslim backlash?
"we may not like CORRECTLY CALLING SOMEONE UNHEALTHY BECAUSE THEY ARE FAT, but calls for genocide are protected speech"
Had these been hysterics from the TwansCult, the "speech criminals" would have been kicked out of these moral wastelands that pass for academic institutions.
Talking like a pure fascist bigot
Let's make a list of corporate thugs.....boycott them all
Defund them!
Kudos Mr Ackman
Because she is there for the money and Harvard should have done a better job during the interview with her i blame Harvard for being smart or so i heard this proved that they are not so smart
Very well said, thank you Bill Ackman 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Not what he really thinks. When interviewing he talks nice. Outside of that he is a zionist, just too cowardice to admit
Time to wake up, people in the middle and on the right
Harvard has consistently been producing sub par humans for the past decade
Absolutely - thanks for your statements.
Maybe you should stop financing them if they can’t even respond to your letter. They’re not going to change their ways until there are consequences
The funny things ... Universities like Penn, MIT, Harvard etc "used to be" schools of science and technology, engineering, medicine however in the last 2 decades the leadership of these great institutions are in the hand of people who of backgrounds in political science, law, international relations (people who have never seen a thing under a microscope, would not know the newtons laws) .. same is the case for these 3 buffoons .... the board and funders of these universities should think limiting to imparting technical education at these institutions ... trust me students perusing technical education don't have time to get involved with political issue .. they are most of the time struggling with their assignments and tests and projects and reports .
I don't disagree with what you are generally saying, but MIT's Sally Kornbluth does have a degree in molecular oncology
What's a task force going to do????
Israeli lawfare against higher education has been scoped for some time. It was predicted for 2017 in the 'Psy Group' tender released by the New Yorker. Controlling and undermining free speech in public institutions is the goal. In many ways it's behind schedule.
It's about damn time...
They are enabling it
Progressive Jews, move right to the Republican Party! We welcome you! 🙏🇮🇱🇺🇸💪
You belong together, until you turn on them one day.
Common sense at last. Thanks. Shame on the previously respected educational institutions! Insanity has to be diagnosed. And accordingly treated.
This is exactly what happens when you put someone like Claudine Gay into that role
They need to let qualified people step in as presidents
People like you and Ackman? People celebrating genocide and ethnic cleansing?
And get controlled by some powerful group
Nah....
you mean SOME qualified people for sure
Mr Ackman, at some point take action$...
thank you for saying this. it gives me hope there are still people who don't give in to these lunatics
They are protesting against Israel oppression of these people over the past 75 years sweetheart. Israelis are oppressive, there is no getting around that they are astoundingly oppressive people
Hypocrites. Israel is just like the US 50 years ago. An Israeli who marries a Muslim isn't even allowed to live in the same house in Israel.
Well, Ackman most certainly has done a lot for the promotion of antisemitism by financing antisemitic monsters.

WHAT LUNATICS?? BILL ACKMAN IS A BILLIONAIRE REFUSING TO HIRE JEW HATING HARVARD STUDENTS.
The mask is off
The trope is true
And we can now all see
The self chosen few
Harvard having it's
Bud Lite moment
You really so right !!!!b😊
It’s like when I apply for a job at Pershing square … nothing 😂
Wow... Your analogy would be perfect if you are an investor in Pershing square and they ignored you. Job seekers are a dime a dozen. 😜
LETS BUILD THE ARK ❤
These campuses are clearly not healthy or safe environments for young people. There is also scary similarities to behavior in 1940's Germany.
They all need to go to jail
Truth
Well said sir
Bill should be in prison for tax evasion and investment fraud.
I thank Bill Ackman for standing up to Harvard and their support of antisemitism. It shines a light on Harvard and I hope corporate and private funding to this institution and other like minded institutions such as NYU stops.
The anti-semitism is incorrect. Palestinians are SEMITES. The students are demonstrating against Z!onism, which is a destructive political movement. BTW- the Z!onists are bombing women and children. They've killed 9,000 children to date.
Harvard look very bad
Good for you, Bill Ackman
It will be annoying to lose that Jewish money
Saudi’s and Qataris will fill that spot.
Will they also be hiring the students who are no longer employable by these firms?@@aminahmad2595
Lol! Yes, they will. Catholics & Protestants will also step up. Talk about stereotypes!
Not stereotypes when firms have already been making public announcements about blacklisting these students. The students' responses were a mixture of shock and anger, it was quite amusing.@@desmondherron552
Mr Ackman thank you for standing up against these educational institutions who are allowing such hatred against some groups. You’re absolutely correct to say they protect other groups. We are sick and tired of these narratives and we are standing up loud and clear!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Abusive and dictators for their personal agendas and their backers. ccp
But supporting ethnic cleansing and genocide in Gaza is perfectly acceptable to Ackman. It makes you and Ackman fascists.
Were he still alive, this would've been a tough month for Gen. Felix L. Sparks (d. 2007). In 1945 as a 27-year-old Lt.-Col. he led a battalion which liberated Dachau. Just 11 years later he filled a vacancy on the Colorado Supreme Court. Given these two highlights of his life, I can only imagine how Ivy League antisemitism and the Colorado court's juridical adventuring would horrify him.
He goes after college students but not ELMO MUSTY. What a punk.
Exactly
One is allowed to do more than criticise the Israeli government. According to the IHRA, one can question Israel’s shape, location and the need for it at all. One can criticise its actions as racist, when that is justified, illegal, inhumane or fascist. One can call its hasbara and lawfair, at a state, organisational or individual level, corrosive and critically perverting to democracy, free speech and healthy discourse. None of that is ascribing a trope to ‘the Jews’ or to Judaism.
Where was crybaby ackman when it came to supporting anyone else? The only reason he cares this time is because its about jews.
Who should he support ,I haven't seen Blacks , lbgqt etc stand in solidarity with Jews .
@@thomasellner6331why should they ?
@@thomasellner6331 Israeli dont exactly like those groups lol. I meant where was ackman when Asians actually got discriminated against or any other group. He is acting like this is some kind of moral issue but its really just rich jews trying to force these schools to do what they want by using their money - which usually works for them.
Long live Harvard and its stand for justis

It's Gaza today, but it will be your city tomorrow!
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (KJV) For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal.
Criticizing Israel killing of civilians is not anti semitism. They know it. But they intentionally make no distinction.
Because Hamas is responsible for those civilian deaths, if you cant see that obvious fact, then you lack critical thinking
Fascism will come to America dressed up in a suit carrying a check book and the bible.
As soon as these Universities start to lose big time Donors we will see a marked change in direction and leadership.
The main duty of a President of a University seems to be to keep Donors happy and funneling BIG sums to it so as to keep everyone on the ever growing teaching staff and in Administration satisfied ........and controlled.
once you rely on this kind of tool to make them change their act, you just let them hide their true nature. They will not do what they need to do because it is right, they will do it because they afraid from losing money. You can say well that's ok, but it will not be ok, since money can come from other sources that can support universities (like Qatar) and let them continue with this shameful ack. The answer should be replacement of leadership and real education on what is free speech and what is anti-**** and hate, and learn that extreme liberalism is so dangerous to liberalism itself
When skin color is a job requirement problems follow
True face of US democracy exposed- The butcher has the right to butcher/slaughter the lamb but if the lamb bleats or cries its a crime against humanity. The West and Arabs have given butchers the right to massacre Muslim women and children in Gaza.
If a Jew is killed its a crime against humanity but when the US and Israel conduct a genocide its legal. Height of hypocrisy and double standards.
Genesis 9:6 "Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man". When Jesus makes the statement “for all who draw the sword will die by the sword,” He is referring to the truth that if a person lives a violent life bent on killing others by the sword, that person will most likely be killed by the sword themselves.
A warning for all humanity- Wake up America.
"In the end we will remember not the words of the enemy but the silence of our friends".
the students are young and ignorant it seems to be their generations rebellion sad and the Universities should quash this
Freedom of speech, quashing is for the third world.
I would be ashamed to say I attend Harvard or Penn
Okay Bot.
Good for him. These people have no shame about hating Jews. I hope he speaks up about white men as well. I went to law school 40 years ago. Even then I had white male friends who had top grades and LSATs be denied admission into top law schools and much less qualified candidates who were not white and who were not men, sail through. It will never change unless people with real influence speak up and flex their muscles.
That’s just absolutely crazy. Whatever happened to having rhe best at a school like that or the best person for the job. This world is crumbling slowly
Unqualified white people have been positions of authority in this country for centuries. Talk about nepotism and legacy admissions. The Supreme Court has really emboldened a lot of racists.
Take their funding, that is the only way to address change at these schools, University of Penn learned that lesson real quick. They are businesses, simply put. If you think colleges are out to "do the right thing" you are incredibly naive about how big of a business colleges have become. The value of any college education has significantly decreased in today's job market no matter what college it came from, even if you decide to get a useful degree vs. one of the fluff degrees many of these colleges push. The young adults coming out of colleges right now struggle with critical thinking and problem solving skills. There is a lack of motivation and a sense of entitlement that wherever they work is going to be a microphone for whatever social justice cause they believe in. That is what happens when your college professors and administrative staff are activists, not educators.
Oh no, the universities aren't doing enough to address the one dude on the corner who sometimes makes Jewish jokes.
If Ackman threatens financial support, should Harvard divest from Israel. You think your finances can solve this issue? Thirty-five (35) states have passed bills and executive orders designed to discourage boycotts of Israel, although the majority of Americans oppose anti-BDS laws. Also, to blame the "left" you've just lost many who would sympathize with you. You can't seem to condemn anti-Arab sentiment as well as antisemitism.
A Oman for president!
Since when did Hedge Fund Managers become moral compasses!!!
Education of higher learning has become education of lower learning, in the gutter education
Too wimpy. Harvard's behavior deserves a stronger approach.
People in college are almost exclusively adults. Stop calling them kids!
But calling them "kids" insults most young people -- i.e., children -- who strive to live responsible lives! A more realistic term would be "narcissists." They don't belong on a college campus!
What about anti-whiteness? Where were you then?
Yet America bombed and invaded Iraq
Lol free speech unless we dont agree
Love the jewish nation and its peoples ; praying 🙏 for you’ll ! Bill Ackman thank you for your courage and convictions God protect you .
This guy is a fund manager. Should he not be focused on managing his clients money? Carl Ichan was right.
Go Bill!
He must be a Israeli
You're right
The next time I need to hear the opinion of a billionaire hedge fund manager, I'll let you know. Buh bye.
Just stop listening to him, and you achieve your goal!
Thank you for your efforts, protecting am Israel
Ackman n'a pas pu faire renvoyer Gay, car il n'a pas pu prouver qu'elle était antisémite. C'est pourquoi il l'a attaquée avec des accusations de plagiat, affirmant qu'elle n'avait obtenu son poste que parce qu'elle est une femme noire. Les affaires de plagiat devraient être traitées par les comités d'intégrité académique des universités. Les professeurs de Harvard ont soutenu Gay. Les problèmes de plagiat devraient être gérés par l'intégrité académique au sein de l'université, et non par des donateurs milliardaires. Gay a reçu de nombreux e-mails racistes et des menaces de mort à cause des actions d'Ackman. Tout cela est soutenu par les extrémistes de droite qui veulent détruire les universités libérales.
“Cancel” the haters.
he’s a clown

Free speech, what happened to it
Neoliberals, Progressives and Neoconservatives all destroy it when it's convenient for them, when it's promoting their wars and causes.
True liberals and libertarians consistently defend it.
You have free speech, but you may not find a job
@@Henrys473 Thats discrimination Tho! This country is based on freedom OfCourse hate speech is not tolerated but if you say hey I don't agree with your political views hence no job for you?
Yep, cant say anything negative about isreal or its leaders without being anti Semitic
Parents Harvard is not going to a prestigious university anymore kids rethink going there. CEOS I would think twice about hiring kids from the left leaning schools matter fact do kids really need a college education unless they are going for a doctor lawyer engineer.
Ah, well. All that Arab OIL MONEY, is always soooo attractive. Mustn't annoy the parents now, should we...???
Obama threw your letter the trash
THEY SCARED 😱
It's also not okay to go around a campus chanting for the elimination of the only Jewish state in the world. Half of the global Jewish population was eliminated during WWII and once again there are cries for the destruction of Israel which would involve destroying half of world Jewry. How is that okay?
Israel is an apartheid state.
This is not about long ago. This is about today and the last two months. The war crime by Hamas on October 7 does not justify the many many many others by Israel.
@@davidwheatley2283 First of all, there are still living survivors - so it wasn't that long ago. Secondly, imagine losing 150,000,000 Americans 80 years ago (just under half the US population) and then have a group of people chant for the destruction of another 150,000,000 Americans now (Israel's population comprises half of world Jewry). Can you imagine how overwhelming that feels when you're Jewish? Finally, show me Israel's war crimes. War is horrible - but there is a difference between terrorism and conducting a war that Israel did not provoke. And why are the protests so loud when Israel launches a defensive war following a slaughter but crickets when Assad slaughtered 500,000 Muslim civilians. What bothers the world so much about Israelis doing what they must to prevent another massacre? There weren't disruptive marches when Russia invaded Ukraine, unprovoked, not once but twice and lots of people were brutally killed in those wars - civilians. Why is the outrage directed only at Israel for engaging in a war they didn't choose to be in? I'll tell you what I think. Jews are expected to stay in their place and accept slaughter and abuse. It bothers the world much when the refuse to do so.
Why don't they trust and have faith in the God they serve? Such fear!
@@desmondherron552 Judaism asserts that you have to have to make your own efforts here and earth while at the same time cleaving to your faith in God. It's not one or the other - a person is required to do both.
ASK STARBUCKS MCDONALD'S BDS EM
He looks shady and ignorant
He mist be an Israeli
Ignorant??? Like u trans rights, womans rights progressives champion the Hamas government??? Who is ignorant again???
@@jonnyfendi2003 Funny how the pro Israel crowd has been using all the woke tactics of the trans movement. Playing the identity politics card, playing the censorship card all while trying to sweep reality under the table.
Fact of the matter is, no matter how you package it. Rational people simply aren't going to go along with the "oh aren't concentration camps and apartheid just awesome" argument.
God bless your heart you're going to try really hard, I'm just saying good luck. You're gonna need it it.
What about Corporate Terrorism Billy?
Bill Ackman should be staying in his lane, the same advice I gave to LBJ
Good
Yes!
Protesting the Israeli government's policy of apartheid and the indiscriminate bombing of civilians, is NOT antiSemitic. It is NOT calling for the genocide or Jews.
Capitalism empire.
These kids don't know they are being played. They are now creating a very bad future for themselves 😢
