據多家美國媒體報道，哈佛大學34個學生團體在近日發表了聯署宣告表示以色列應該為哈馬斯發動的突襲“負全責”後，美國億萬富翁、對沖基金行業知名人士比爾·阿克曼宣稱，哈佛大學應該公佈參與這份聯署的學生名單，以確保他的公司不會僱用這些學生。目前，至少有十幾名公司執行長（CEO）對阿克曼表達支援。不過對於CEO們“拉黑”學生的做法，有人提出警告。
哈佛學生髮表的這份宣告認為，哈馬斯發動的襲擊並非無緣無故，數百萬生活在加沙的巴勒斯坦人“被迫生活在露天監獄中”，“以色列政權應該為正在發生的所有暴力事件負全責”。這份宣告隨即引發爭議，不少哈佛校友表達不滿，批評哈佛大學領導層沒有譴責這一“親巴勒斯坦”的宣告。CNN報道稱，截至當地時間10月12日晚上，至少有5個最初參與聯署的學生團體撤回他們對那份宣告的支援。
面對很多批評聲音，哈佛新任校長克勞丁·蓋（Claudine Gay）釋出3分鐘影片進行發聲，她說：“哈佛崇尚言論自由，即使這些言論遭到了大多數人的反對和憤怒，我們仍然允許，我們不會因為人們表達（支援巴勒斯坦或哈馬斯的）觀點而對他們進行懲罰或制裁。”

This is a moment of intense pain and grief for a great many people in our community and around the world.
I feel that pain and grief myself.
As members of a university community, we have a choice.
We can fan the flames of division and hatred that are roiling the world.
Or we can try to be a force for something different and better.
People have asked me where we stand.
So let me be clear.
Our university rejects terrorism.
That includes the barbaric atrocities perpetrated by Hamas.
Our university rejects hate.
Hate of Jews, hate of Muslims, hate of any group of people based on their faith, their national origin, or any aspect of their identity.
Our university rejects the harassment or intimidation of individuals based on their beliefs.
And our university embraces a commitment to free expression. That commitment extends even to views that many of us find objectionable, even outrageous.
We do not punish or sanction people for expressing such views.
But that is a far cry from endorsing them.
It's in the exercise of our freedom to speak that we reveal our characters and we reveal the character of our institution.
We can issue public pronouncements declaring the rightness of our own points of view and vilify those who disagree.
Or we can choose to talk and to listen with care and humility, to seek deeper understanding and to meet one another with compassion.
We can inflame an already volatile situation on our campus.
Or we can focus our attention where it belongs on the unfolding tragedy thousands of miles away.
We can ask ourselves how, as human beings, we can be helpful to people who are desperately trying to protect themselves and their families.
People who are fighting to survive.
How we go forward as a community is up to each of us.
I've spent most of my career at this institution.
I have seen the people of Harvard come together despite their differences.
I know that we are capable of meeting this moment and meeting one another with grace.
