☆ Bill Ackman and Mark Zuckerberg Fail to Land Candidates on Harvard’s Board of Overseers
  + stars: | 2024-02-02 | by ( Anemona Hartocollis | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
It’s hard to get into Harvard, even if you’ve done it before. Mark Zuckerberg, head of Meta, and Bill Ackman, head of the Pershing Square hedge fund, discovered as much, in their failed push to get dissident candidates onto the Harvard Board of Overseers, one of the university’s two governing bodies. The candidates — a slate of four backed by Mr. Ackman and one candidate backed by Mr. Zuckerberg — said on Friday that they had not collected enough petition signatures to get on the April ballot for election to the board. “We are disappointed but greatly appreciate all the support,” Zoe Bedell, an assistant U.S. attorney, who ran on the Ackman slate, said in a statement on Friday. “We look forward to trying again next year.”Their failure raised the question of how much support existed for Mr. Ackman’s persistent campaign against Harvard’s leadership over the past few months.

☆ Bill Ackman, taking a page from his Wall Street playbook, backs rebel candidates to join Harvard’s board

The move by Ackman takes a page out of the playbook that made him successful on Wall Street. Normally, candidates for the 30-member Harvard Board of Overseers are nominated by the university’s alumni association. However, Ackman is now backing four write-in candidates, all graduates of Harvard and Radcliffe College, Harvard Business School or Law School. “We truly feel called to do this now,” Leslie, who has spent 20 years in the US military, told CNN in a phone interview. Calls for change at HarvardNew members are elected to the Harvard Board of Overseers each spring.
