New York | Harvard alumnus and hedge fund manager Bill Ackman called on university president Claudine Gay to take immediate steps to reduce antisemitism on campus, a situation he called “dire” after meeting with students and faculty last week.

“Four weeks after the barbaric terrorist acts of October 7th, I have lost confidence that you and the university will do what is required,” Mr Ackman wrote, describing the Cambridge campus as a place where Jewish students are concerned about the threat of physical violence against them.
