Ken Griffin says Harvard is producing 'whiny snowflakes' — and he's done donating to it

After donating $500 million to Harvard, Citadel CEO Ken Griffin said he won't be financially supporting the Ivy League school anymore.

• Investment firm CEO Ken Griffin accused Harvard University of producing "whiny snowflakes."
• Griffin said he won't be financially supporting the Ivy League anymore.
• He's donated a total of over $500 million to Harvard as of April.

Harvard University President Claudine Gay may have resigned, but the top school just lost another major donor.

Citadel founder and CEO Ken Griffin, one of Harvard's billionaire alumni, said he plans to stop his sizable donations to the Ivy League.

"I'm not interested in supporting the institution," Griffin said during the MFA Network conference in Miami on Tuesday.

As of April 2023, Griffin's donations to the school came out to more than $500 million in total, according to the Harvard Gazette.

But, Griffin said he's done unless the school will "resume its role educating young American men and women to be leaders and problem solvers."

Griffin said Harvard is now producing "whiny snowflakes."

He's not the only billionaire to wade into the drama around the elite school after Gay refused to say that calls for genocide against Jews would be banned on campus during a congressional hearing.

Hedge fund manager and Harvard alum Bill Ackman was a leader in the campaign to push Claudine Gay to resign over her testimony — and accusations of plagiarism.
