Hims CEO’s Support of College Protesters Sparks Outrage

The founder and CEO of telemedicine company Hims is looking to hire students who are participating in the pro-Palestinian protests that have rocked U.S. college campuses.

Andrew Dudum, who is Palestinian American, posted on X, “Moral courage > college degree If you’re currently protesting against the genocide of the Palestinian people & for your university’s divestment from Israel, keep going. It’s working. There are plenty of companies & CEOs eager to hire you, regardless of university discipline.”

Chaos has crippled dozens of college campuses in the United States the past week with more than 2,300 people having been arrested on more than 44 college and universities campuses across 23 states, The Associated Press reported on Friday.
