Bill Ackman, Pershing Square CEO and vocal critic of the failure of universities to curtail antisemitism on campus, blasted university presidents' equivocation on the issue at a Congressional hearing.

The Presidents of Harvard, Yale, and Penn universities all gave equivocal and evasive answers when asked at a Congressional hearing whether calling for genocidal violence against Jews violates their code of conduct.

Bill Ackman, a vocal critic of the universities' failure to curtail the explosion of antisemitism on campuses throughout America since October 7, published a long post on W/Twitter criticizing the answers, saying that "the presidents’ answers reflect the profound educational, moral and ethical failures that pervade certain of our elite educational institutions due in large part to their failed leadership."

Per Ackman, "throughout the hearing, the three behaved like hostile witnesses, exhibiting a profound disdain for the Congress with their smiles and smirks, and their outright refusal to answer basic questions with a yes or no answer."
