Bill Ackman on Antisemitism, Stakeholder Activism, and Harvard’s Future 01/12/24
About this episode
Pershing Square Founder and CEO Bill Ackman joins Andrew Ross Sorkin for an extended conversation about his activist shareholder strategy on Wall Street and at his alma mater, Harvard. He’s become one of business’s most outspoken voices pushing for an end to antisemitism on college campuses and for the removal of Harvard’s former president, Claudine Gay. Ackman addresses his change-seeking strategies, and the controversial headlines about himself and about his wife’s academic career. Plus, he discusses his political leanings, his expectations for the 2024 election, and his disappointment in America’s current political frontrunners.
