Billionaire Ken Griffin calls rebukes Harvard during war protests

Billionaire Kenneth Griffin criticized Harvard University for straying from "Western values" amidst campus protests, attributing the unrest to a "cultural revolution" in U.S. education. He emphasized the need for a meritocratic stance and the importance of embracing Western values. Griffin also condemned the recent wave of pro-Palestinian protests on campuses as "performative art" and criticized actions that infringe on property as anarchy, not freedom of speech. His comments follow a halt in his substantial donations to Harvard due to dissatisfaction with its handling of antisemitism.
