Barstool Sports founder, Dave Portnoy, is criticizing graduates from Harvard, UPenn, and MIT, accusing their campuses of alleged antisemitism. Portnoy reinforced his stance, stating it’s “common sense” for companies to avoid hiring from these institutions.

He emphasized this viewpoint on “Varney & Co.” and pointed to a scathing Instagram post where he questioned the testimonies of the presidents of these universities on Capitol Hill. Portnoy clarified on FOX Business that while some employees were “grandfathered” in, predating his announcement, a significant number of people have contacted him about the hiring freeze decision.

The controversy centers on his strong position against graduates from specific prestigious colleges due to perceived issues of antisemitism on their campuses.
