Goldman Sachs Forced to Cancel Ivy League Recruiting Visits Following Occupy Wall Street Protests

HeadlineDec 13, 2011

Goldman Sachs has been forced to cancel recent recruiting visits to Harvard and Brown universities after Occupy Wall Street protesters disrupted earlier recruiting efforts. In addition, Goldman Sachs chair and CEO Lloyd Blankfein was scheduled to speak at Barnard College in New York City on Monday, but canceled after students organized a week-long protest against Goldman Sachs. JPMorgan’s campus recruiting efforts have also been disrupted. Last week, 20 student activists at Princeton University interrupted a campus recruiting drive by the investment bank. Meanwhile, students at Yale University recently protested a campus appearance by recruiters from Morgan Stanley.
