At least five Harvard University student associations are back-pedaling on their support for a joint letter blaming Israel for the Hamas attack following a backlash. 

A “doxing truck” drove around the university campus Wednesday with a billboard displaying the images and names of people who are thought to have signed the letter, alongside a banner that says "Harvard's Leading Antisemites". 

In a message on X, Hedge fund CEO Bill Ackman called for students to be blacklisted so he and other companies don't hire them. 

Multiple other business leaders, including the CEOs of shopping club FabFitFun, health tech startup EasyHealth and Dovehill Capital Management supported the call from Ackman to name the students. 

Israeli billionaire Idan Ofer and his wife are resigning their posts on the executive board of Harvard’s Kennedy School in protest of school President Claudine Gay’s belated lukewarm response to the student letter.
