According to this NYT story, Rowan was the leader of a group of Penn alumni and donors who forced Magill out of the presidency at Penn. One of the issues was allowing a Palestinian literary conference to meet at Penn.

Inside the Chaotic Struggle for Power at Penn
For months, donors waged a campaign against the president and the chairman of the board. After the hearings on antisemitism, a dissident group of trustees had seen enough.

Hello, I am suggesting edits to improve the article.
- I have written a more detailed and accurate account of the events described in the second paragraph of the Personal section. I hope someone will add this to the page, as I have a conflict of interest:
- In September 2023, Rowan and more than 4,000 other trustees and alumni of the University of Pennsylvania signed an open letter voicing concern over the rising antisemitism on campus. Following the University’s response to the October 7th attack on Israel and inaction against antisemitism on campus, Rowan called for the resignation of then-University President Liz Magill and then-Chair of the Board of Trustees Scott Bok. He stated that he was stopping his donation to the university and urged donors to do so until leadership resigned. [1] [2]
- In addition, please remove the following clause from the Career section, which is irrelevant to Rowan and does not belong on this page, per
WP:COATRACK. (The topic is already covered – appropriately – at
Apollo Global Management.):
- ...after Black stepped down from the role after it was discovered he had paid convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein $158 million between 2012 and 2017 for what Black claimed was advice on tax and estate planning.
- The sentence should only say: He was promoted as CEO in July 2021.

Thank you for your assistance, Chamanch123 ( talk) 11:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)
- I have reviewed your edits and agree with the comment on Black made some of the changes. Regrading the Liz Magill affair I have incorporated some of your suggestions, but I feel the previous wording has more clarity in some respects. Sargdub ( talk) 02:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)

Hello, I appreciate the work that has been done on the article so far, and I have 2 further edits to request at this time.
In the Personal life section, the article states that Rowan is on the board of trustees of the University of Pennsylvania. He is not on this board, as can be seen in this source: [1].
Please remove that clause from the sentence. The sentence should only say: Rowan is Chair of the Board of Advisors of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. [1]
In addition, please remove the words 'private equity' from the Lead and the Career section. Rowan's firm, Apollo Global Management is an asset management firm and does not exclusively specialize in private equity, as can be seen in these sources: [2] [3]
The lead should say: Marc Jeffrey Rowan (born August 19, 1962) is an American billionaire investor. The Career section should say: In 1990, Rowan co-founded the asset management firm Apollo Global Management with former Drexel colleagues Leon Black and Josh Harris.
