The New England Patriots’ CEO expressed his deep disappointment in the drastic transformation of the institution that once nurtured and supported him. Kraft highlighted his disapproval of the shift in sentiment at Columbia, stating that the school he once cherished is unrecognizable due to the alarming rise of hate on campus.
Kraft emphasized the need for decisive action to tackle the crisis, calling for a reevaluation of tenure and greater accountability within academic institutions like Columbia. He specifically pointed out the concerning trend of professors imposing their beliefs on students rather than fostering critical thinking.
Despite withdrawing support for Columbia University, Kraft affirmed his commitment to The Kraft Center at Columbia and commended New York City Mayor Eric Adams for handling the protests. The billionaire CEO’s unwavering stance reflects his dedication to combating the troubling wave of intolerance and ensuring that educational institutions uphold their responsibility to nurture an environment of empathy and understanding.
