Hate Speech at Harvard? Bill Ackman Takes on Anti-Semitism 11/06/23: In three parts, Joe Kernen, Becky Quick, and Andrew Ross Sorkin unpack the intense conversations between college students, college administrators, donor alumni, and employers regarding the ‘right’ way to respond to the Israel-Hamas War and the uptick in anti-semitism and islamophobia that has appeared in its wake. Former SEC Chair and University of Pennsylvania Adjunct Professor of Law Jay Clayton offers his own perspective on the law firms that have addressed law school deans directly on this topic. He counts the lack of clear governance as a contributing factor to rising hate speech and insufficient response on university campuses. Hedge fund billionaire Bill Ackman dials in to respond and share his own perspective, as a Harvard alumnus pushing his own alma mater to do better as an emotionally charged geopolitical environment makes waves on campus.
