Just about everyone, whether left or right, wants the Israel-Gaza war to end — except those whose net worths depend on it. One such war profiteer is Kraig Kayser MBA ’84, the chair of Cornell’s Board of Trustees and arguably the most powerful figure in University affairs. Since the war in Gaza broke out, Kayser has seen his investment in Moog skyrocket by millions. What makes it all the more unconscionable is that, while building his fortune off of war, Kayser leads Cornell’s Board of Trustees, the highest governing body at our University. As chair, Kayser has an outsized role in appointing the president and provost.
