The College of Arts and Sciences selected its second cohort of Klarman Fellows from over 260 applicants, inducting eight scholars into its three-year postdoctoral research program.
Klarman Hall’s namesake has a history of spending big on politics. This election cycle, Seth Klarman ’79 donated over $5 million, mostly to Democratic candidates.
Klarman donated over $7 million over the course of the Obama administration, but said that “by the [2018] election I think I’ll have spent between $18 and $20 million,” in an interview with The Times.
Canceling debts “may be well intentioned,” Klarman wrote in his letter, but would be “impractical” as it would undermine the obligation of bond issuers to repay their obligations that support Puerto Rico’s credit markets.
Klarman manages The Baupost Group, a hedge fund in Boston, which owns $911.6 million in bonds issued by Puerto Rico, the group confirmed to media outlets.
