Shareholder Proxy Fights: Harvard’s Campus & Disney’s Boardroom 01/03/24

Claudine Gay has resigned from her post as Harvard University President amid plagiarism allegations and pressure from Harvard’s donors. Crisis management expert Eric Dezenhall explains the shareholder mindsets of the university’s donors and the role they play in the future of higher education and the workforce. Another shareholder fight is underway at Disney; activists ValueAct and Blackwells are backing Bob Iger and Disney in the ongoing proxy battle with another activist investor, Nelson Peltz’s Trian. Plus, the family that went viral for their “Christmas Jammies” video in 2013 has amassed millions of followers across platforms since then. Kim and Penn Holderness discuss how they turned a family music video into a business with 7 revenue streams, joining the rising tide of the creator economy.
