☆ CEOs call on Harvard to name students linked to statement blaming Israel for Hamas attack

The CEO of Pershing Square Capital Management said he wanted to ensure his company and others don’t “inadvertently hire” any students belonging to Harvard groups that signed the letter. Following a backlash to the statement, some of the student groups have since withdrawn their endorsements. Others warn that naming the students whose groups backed the statement could put the students in harms way and did not account for differences of opinion within the student groups. But Harvard President Claudine Gay issued a statement Tuesday saying “no student group – not even 30 student groups – speaks for Harvard University or its leadership.”Harvard student groups’ statementThe controversy comes in response to a joint statement released by a coalition of Harvard student groups following the attacks by Hamas that have killed more than 1,000 Israelis and at least 14 American citizens. Another Harvard student, Danielle Mikaelian, said she resigned from the board of a group that signed the statement on Israel and didn’t have a chance to read it until it was too late.

☆ Many Americans think of education and transportation as public goods, but they're actually heavily privatized. Here's why that's a problem.
  + stars: | 2022-01-29 | by ( Paul Constant | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +6 min
Cohen said the privatization of public goods like education won't benefit the majority of Americans. Many fields that ordinary Americans assume to be public goods — public education, libraries, public transportation — don't fit that strict description. "In that definition, healthcare is a private good, not a public good," Cohen said. We're all familiar with the trickle-down claim that under a profit motive, business can provide public goods more efficiently than the government. "The alternative of private control over public goods is public control over public goods," he said.
