Billionaire hedge fund CEO Bill Ackman and a growing number of other business leaders are demanding Harvard University release the names of the students who signed a letter blaming Israel for the deadly attacks by Hamas, CNN reports.
“One should not be able to hide behind a corporate shield when issuing statements supporting the actions of terrorists,” Ackman, Pershing CEO, said on X.
“We, the undersigned student organizations, hold the Israeli regime entirely responsible for all unfolding violence,” the Harvard Palestine Solidarity Groups wrote. The Harvard students issued their statement with a footnote at the bottom saying that the names of the “original signing organizations have been concealed at this time.”
According to Harvard’s student newspaper, the Harvard Crimson, at least five of the original 34 signatories withdrew their endorsements as of Tuesday night. Other groups responded to Ackman saying that some students in their organizations were not aware of the joint letter’s content or that the alliances, of which they are members, were issuing the statement.
