Bill Ackman says Harvard board resisted firing university president to avoid appearance of 'kowtowing' to him
Fox News
Billionaire and Harvard alumnus Bill Ackman said one of the reasons it was difficult for Harvard's board to fire its president was because it would appear they were "kowtowing" to him.
"I have been told now by two reporters that one of the factors that made it challenging for the @Harvard board to fire Gay was that they were concerned it would look like they were kowtowing to me," Ackman wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"In other words, the reporters explained, quoting the trustees: 'Had Bill just stopped tweeting, we would have come to the right answer.' So much for Veritas," he continued.
