Ivy League grads risk losing prized jobs for allowing antisemitic protests to fester: Wall Street honchos
NY Post
The violent, antisemitic protests at some of the nation’s elite colleges has forced top corporate recruiters to assess the quality of the education dispensed at these places — and whether they should look elsewhere for job candidates, the Post has learned.
Activist investor Daniel Loeb, a Columbia University graduate, has begun to reconsider whether to focus offering jobs at his hedge fund to fellow alums and other Ivy League schools like Harvard, Yale, Penn amid their tepid responses to the protests on their campuses, he told The Post.
“We’ve always looked beyond the target schools but we’re doing it even more so now given recent events,” Loeb told The Post on Wednesday.
“We are looking for high-quality candidates but we’re going to be looking at different places.”
Loeb’s firm, Third Point, which manages $11 billion in assets, regularly recruited from places like Columbia in the past, he said.
Now, he’s broadening his focus to schools like Yeshiva University, the University of Florida and Emory University.
