????卡爾?伊坎，德雷克塞爾大學，2008年

????畢業典禮演講意在振奮人心，但公司掠奪者卡爾?伊坎卻借此機會對美國的商界領袖進行了一番猛烈抨擊。他表示，普通的美國CEO不應該成為學生們學習的榜樣。

????他說道：“雖然有例外，但美國公司的管理非常糟糕。整個系統功能失調。我可以告訴你們，美國公司的董事會多么差勁，雖然確實存在例外。我在許多家董事會任職。我根本不用去看《周六夜現場》，因為董事會簡直比娛樂節目還要熱鬧?！?/p>

????Carl Icahn, Drexel University, 2008

????Corporate raider Carl Icahn cut through the uplifting sentiments of commencement addresses with a stern assessment of the nation’s business elite, holding up the average American CEO as the precise opposite of a role model.

????“With exceptions, we have terrible management in this country,” he said. “The system is dysfunctional. I can tell you how bad our boards are, with exceptions of course. I sit on a lot of boards. I don’t have to watch Saturday Night Live anymore; I just go to the board meetings.”
