NoteThe source directly confirms the claim. The Wikipedia article states in the 'Education and early career' section: 'He graduated from Harvard University with a degree in social studies in 2003.' This matches the claim that Holden Karnofsky's education is 'BA in Social Studies, Harvard University.' The source also confirms the additional context that he worked at Bridgewater Associates before founding GiveWell. The only minor note is that the source says 'degree in social studies' rather than explicitly stating 'BA,' but a degree from Harvard in social studies is understood to be a Bachelor of Arts degree, so this is a confirmed match.
