CEO Andrew Dumdum of HIMS, a company specializing in male hair loss and erectile dysfunction products, has made a bold statement by offering to hire anti-Israel protesters despite their disciplinary records. In a post on X, Dumdum expressed his support for those protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people and advocating for their university’s divestment from Israel.
Dumdum emphasized that moral courage is more important than a college degree, and he encouraged protesters to continue their efforts, stating that there are plenty of companies and CEOs eager to hire them. He even shared a link to his company’s hiring page, showing his commitment to supporting those who stand up for their beliefs.
This move by Dumdum comes at a time when the business community has been vocal about not hiring students from Ivy League schools who have participated in anti-Israel protests. Bill Ackman, head of Pershing Square Capital Management, was among those who expressed reluctance to hire students from Harvard who had signed a letter blaming Israel for Hamas’ attack.
The recent pro-Palestinian protests at college campuses across the United States have led to nearly 2,200 arrests, with police using riot gear and tactical vehicles to clear encampments and occupied buildings. Despite the challenges faced by protesters, Dumdum’s offer to hire them demonstrates his commitment to supporting those who speak out against injustice.
