Harvard Financial Pain Grows as Blavatnik Joins Donor Revolt
- Billionaire pauses gifts to school amid antisemitism furor
- University is still richest in US with $51 billion endowment
The list of Harvard University’s disaffected donors has added another billionaire: Len Blavatnik.
His family foundation has given at least $270 million to Harvard, but it’s pausing donations in the wake of university President Claudine Gay’s widely derided congressional testimony on antisemitism, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter.
