The California State Teachers’ Retirement System Chief Investment Officer Christopher Ailman has a new investment -- personally at least -- and it’s in the campaign to #DeleteFacebook. The executive tweetedBloomberg Terminal his support last night, claiming he removed his account due to the “offensive” lack of oversight and poor management at Facebook Inc.

Ailman’s tweet comes just after the social network CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a media briefing Wednesday that its crises, including #DeleteFacebook, are not meaningfully affecting the business.
