A blog item published on September 21 implied that there was an arrangement between the Turkish businessman and philanthropist Murat Ülker and Harvard University whereby Mr. Ülker’s 2014 donation of $24 million to Harvard’s School of Public Health had secured a speaking event for Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan at the Harvard Club in New York City on September 23 of this year. There is no evidence of any such reciprocal arrangement. We have removed the item from our website and we apologize to Mr. Ülker and to Harvard.
