Gotta say it looks pretty damning. I thought he was a poor leader after the Hamptons incident with the analysts, but I never knew about the Hamilton college one. Telling a group of women, of which half were women of color, that they're all probably on financial aid and in debt to the university's endowment is a terrible look — a colossally stupid thing to say for the CEO of Goldman Sachs.

This actually make me like him more.  Sounds pretty based here.  Bunch of whiny zoomers getting worked up about ESG (nevermind the fact they are all addicted to tik tok which is CHINESE OWNED, i.e. the ultimate ESG destroyer), and David ripped into them.

And then when he remarks they must all be on student aid (statistically 80% are), they just assume they said that because they are not white/female (a classic diversity victimhood mentality....'oh its because im black/latino!").....no you are just an idiot....

"An even more revealing - and all but unnoticed - exchange happened a few days later. As chair of the board of trustees at his alma mater, Hamilton College, Solomon attended a networking event on campus in early March. Toward the end of the reception, a cluster of seniors approached Solomon with questions about the university's energy investments. Three of them wrote a letter to the student newspaper, the Spectator, about what happened next. "Solomon's attitude and behavior toward us and our questions carried extremely racist and sexist undertones," they wrote. "His blatant ignorance and disrespect is one we feel obligated to share with the campus community."

According to the students, they spoke with Solomon for 30 minutes, mostly about fossil-fuel divestment. The CEO offended them several times, claiming at one point that he "does more in a week to help climate change than we will ever do in our entire lives" and pointing to a home he bought in Vail that runs on geothermal energy.

"​​Solomon then said probably the most clearly racially charged sentiment," the students wrote. "He pointed at each one of us, claiming that all of us must be on financial aid; he implied that we should show immense gratitude because we are in debt to the college's endowment and that we should not complain about its investment portfolio. Once we all looked shocked at the claim, he quickly backtracked, citing the statistic that something like 80 percent of Hamilton students are on some kind of financial aid. It is important to note that the group of six or so people talking to him were all non-male and at least half were people of color. We believe that he never would have assumed we were all on financial aid if we were the group of white male students in suits talking to him 20 minutes prior."
