Bill Ackman Says Harvard Board Should Quit Next After Claudine Gay

Bill Ackman, who led a campaign to oust Claudine Gay from Harvard University amid concerns over antisemitism on campus and allegations of plagiarism, said the school’s board should be removed over its support for the embattled ex-president.

“Board Chair, Penny Pritzker, should resign along with the other members of the board who led the campaign to keep Claudine Gay, orchestrated the strategy to threaten the media, bypassed the process for evaluating plagiarism, and otherwise greatly contributed to the damage that has been done,” Ackman wrote in a more than 4,000 word post on X. “New Corporation board members should be identified who bring true diversity, viewpoint and otherwise, to the board.”
