Harvard Mega Donor Who Has Given Over $500 MILLION To The University Pulls All Funding After Saying They Produce "Whiny Snowflakes"
Source - Longtime Harvard donor Ken Griffin has vowed to withhold financial support for the university unless it undertakes significant changes to its policy regarding antisemitism as the hedge fund billionaire lamented the “whiny snowflakes” that were being produced by Ivy League schools.
“I’m not interested in supporting the institution,” Griffin, the 55-year-old hedge fund billionaire who runs Citadel and Citadel Securities, told a conference in Miami.
Griffin, who graduated from the Cambridge, Mass.-based school in 1989, donated $300 million to Harvard in the last year alone and more than $500 million total.
The Florida native who recently relocated his company headquarters to Miami from Chicago has an estimated net worth of $36.8 billion, according to Bloomberg Billionaires Index.
Hello Francis. I know you're reading this blog right now so I just wanted to say hi. I thought about sending it to you but decided against it as we all know Tate is counting our Friday blogs. Gotta get those numbers up for the boss! Any-who, I had to look up who Ken Griffin is and here's what came back...

Kenneth Cordele Griffin is an American hedge fund manager, entrepreneur and investor. He is the founder, chief executive officer, co-chief investment officer, and 80% owner of Citadel LLC, a multinational hedge fund. He also owns Citadel Securities, one of the largest market makers in the U.S
He also apparently hates libs, cucks, and anyone who whines about anything at all. He gave a statement explaining his decision to pull funding...
On Tuesday that he won’t support the school unless changes were made.
“Will America’s elite university get back to their roots of educating American children — young adults — to be the future leaders of our country or are they going to maintain being lost in the wilderness of microaggressions, a DEI agenda that seems to have no real endgame, and just being lost in the wilderness?” Griffin said.
When asked by the event moderator if he was financially supporting Harvard, Griffin responded: “No."
Griffin said it was incumbent on Harvard to “resume their role as educating young American men and women to be leaders, to be problem solvers, to take on difficult issues.” Until that happens, “I’m not interested in supporting the institution,” he said.
Now the good news is Harvard has about $45 BILLION in the bank so this won't necessarily hurt them, but it definitely won't help. At least from a reputation standpoint. We alllll remember what happened with that lunatic Claudine Gay…
Oh and as far as the whole "whiny snowflakes" thing goes, I get it. I just always thought it was more an air of entitlement than anything else. Then again what do I know? I'm just a 34 year old man who went to UMass after barely graduating High School.
We actually spoke about Harvard's reputation on Barstool Radio 2.0 (RIP) and the general consensus was that there is literally nothing or no one that can take down the University. It's too big, too powerful, and has way too much money. It's an institution that will last forever no matter how much funding is pulled. So yeah, $500 million seems a lot of money, but it's a drop in the bucket for Harvard and one that won't even make a ripple in their pond. That's it for this one. Thanks for reading.
