Bill Ackman: Harvard Board Led by Obama Associate Penny Pritzker Must Resign After Claudine Gay

Major Harvard donor Bill Ackman demanded on Wednesday that the university’s board resign following Claudine Gay’s departure as school president, condemning their “diversity, equity and inclusion” (DEI) policies and calling out their politically connected leader.

In a 4,000-word tirade on X, the hedge fund manager specifically named board head Penny Pritzker — a billionaire heiress to the Hyatt hotels fortune, the sister of Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D), and an official in both the Obama and Biden administrations.

“The Corporation board led by Penny Pritzker selected the wrong president and did inadequate due diligence about her academic record despite Gay being in leadership roles at the University since 2015 when she became dean of the Social Studies department,” Ackman wrote, after detailing why he believed Gay to be a “DEI-favored candidate.”

Ackman differentiated between “diversity in its broadest form,” which includes “diversity of viewpoints,” from fake diversity, as in the “political advocacy movement on behalf of certain groups that are deemed oppressed under DEI’s own methodology.”
