CAMBRIDGE - The Harvard University students who signed a letter blaming Israel for the horrific Hamas attacks last weekend may have a hard time getting a job after graduation.

That set off an international backlash and now some executives in finance and tech want those students blacklisted.

According to the Harvard Crimson, a billboard truck drove near campus Wednesday displaying the names and faces of students allegedly affiliated with the groups that signed the statement.
