Can a Donor Revolt Save American Universities? | The Free Press

For years, even though the far left never had real political power, social and cultural power were all theirs. Fortune 500 CEOs bent the knee literally, during the summer of 2020. NPR aired breathless segments with academics who defended looting, or argued for the destruction of the nuclear family. The more extreme you were, the more attention you got. 

So when Hamas brutally murdered babies, raped women, and took the disabled as hostages, it was business as usual, at least on America s college campuses. Silence from the universities; cruel and maximalist rhetoric from left-wing student groups.

But then something weird happened. People started to say no. 

It began with Bill Ackman, the hedge fund billionaire, who had been doomscrolling since news of the attacks first broke. On Tuesday, he came across an open letter, signed by over thirty student groups from Harvard his alma mater which blamed Israelis for their own murders.
