"Wall Street Billionaire Accused of Using Tactics to Strong-Arm University Over Antisemitism"

Marc Rowan, billionaire CEO of Apollo, has halted his donations to the University of Pennsylvania (UPenn) over its response to campus antisemitism and called on fellow alumni to do the same. A UPenn trustee accused Rowan of using aggressive Wall Street tactics to pressure the college, including contacting "half of Wall Street" to discuss ways major donors can bring about leadership changes at top schools. Tensions over antisemitism on US college campuses have risen following Hamas' attacks on Israel, leading to a donor revolt among Ivy League alumni.
