Billionaire businessman and investor Kenneth Griffin, who has donated more than half a billion dollars to Harvard University, has said he will no longer support the school over its handling of alleged anti-Semitism and branded students at elite universities as “whiny snowflakes.”

Mr. Griffin, whose donations to Harvard have reportedly totaled more than $500 million over the years, made the comments at the Managed Funds Association conference in Miami on Jan. 30.
