Bill Ackman & Marc Rowan

CEOs

Finance gurus Bill Ackman and Marc Rowan leapt into action following the Oct. 7 invasion of southern Israel by Hamas terrorists, calling on US universities to take action against the wave of Hamas solidarity activities in its wake. Ackman, CEO of hedge fund Pershing Square, demanded that Harvard University publish the names of students who signed a pro-Hamas statement, so that recruiters could avoid hiring them, while Rowan, CEO of Apollo Global Management, urged the University of Pennsylvania leadership to resign over their failure to combat antisemitism on campus. "One should not be able to hide behind a corporate shield when issuing statements supporting the actions of terrorists, who, we now learn, have beheaded babies, among other inconceivably despicable acts," wrote Ackman.
