The published a story today with the headline: "Bill Ackman's Campaign Against Harvard Followed Years of Resentment."
The premise of the story is false. I have held no resentment toward Harvard ever. And I have none now.
The story gives the impression that my motivation for raising issues about antisemitism at Harvard and President Gay were due to prior grievances. This is entirely false and misleading.
It is true, however, that I continue to have a serious issue with Harvard in connection with a donation of stock in a private company that I made in late 2017.
The short version of the story is as follows:
In 2017, I was in the middle of a divorce, Pershing Square had gone through a large drawdown, investors were redeeming, and it was a very challenging period of time in my life.
Harvard sure is shifty...
