To be fair, this vile man has plenty of time for other roles as his sole contribution to Apple seems to be to stick 5% on the price of each product refresh. A monkey could do that.

why people are not boycotting Apple and publicly shaming them like they did with Blizzard
Advisory board. Does anyone who’s distressed, concerned, outraged, etc know what that position entails? Hint: the advisory board meets once per year. But it’s definitely a great networking opportunity.
Cook’s been a member since 2013. Chairman is a three year term, so you won’t have to be concerned for too long, only three meetings. Maybe Elon Musk will be the next chairman and you’ll direct your outrage and conspiracy theories at him
If not Elon, maybe one of the other advisory board members:

As nearly everyone one on here has said....it's the timing of the announcement that is irking everyone.
There are two types of leaders that run Apple. You had Steve Jobs, who was a bit crazy, but a visionary and interested in bringing the best products to the masses. He hid from the limelight unless it was absolutely necessary, and focused on pursuing quality and innovation with the products he worked on with his teams during his lifetime.
And you got Tim Cook, who I have nothing against, but you can see how he's not a crazy visionary like Steve, he's more interested in the limelight, doesn't care about taking ownership of that stage to tell the world the stories behind why things are being done at Apple. He cares about numbers, adhering to the status quo because that's what the board wants him to do.
Both generated a lot of money for Apple, but I think people came on board [including myself] to being an Apple customer for the rebel-quality Steve Jobs put in the company, the fearlessness of innovation that is slowly fading away.

Earned that seat didnt he?

How about Tim kicking off his important work inside China since he's not interested in Apple work...

I mean, he's still for equality, yes? Or does China pay him more than his concern for equality?

IBM sure did among many other companies, look up companies that were tied to the Nazis.
I get the feeling Cook won’t be CEO much longer. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next couple of years Jeff Williams is named CEO. Maybe Tim Cook stays on the board or the executive team as chairman or something but not CEO.
Hey Tim, just in case you are interested, please know that democratic capitalism won’t change China.
Please see my link above. China won’t ever be democratic.

LOL, no kidding. TC, nothing but a money grubbing, willing to bend over and take it guy(Pat).
That would take more courage than most could ever muster.
Far easier to moan-n-whine to get that little blip of feel-good power for the next couple of minutes.
So many tin foil hats, so little time lol. A) not a paid position. B) it’s a school... they teach things... it’s an institution that helps people (many here seem like they’ve never attended a school). C) who cares?
Sounds like Tim is getting a little too cozy with the Chi-Coms and has forgotten which country's passport he carries.
Here’s an idea, how about he do more work as CEO of Apple for a change
Just like the the chairmen/women of of IBM, Microsoft, Tesla, General Motors, Dell, Citigroup, JP Morgan, Coca-Coloa, Deans of Harvard Business School and MIT Sloan School of Management, and on and on.
Apparently all commies in your eyes.

See above.
I'm pretty sure that Steve would be regretting his pick at this point. What a useless CEO. Loves his glory and political games but has no clue about products. Meanwhile, Satya and crew are quietly kicking Apple's butt in innovation and progress.
I don't see what's the big deal, Cook has been on the committee since 2013. He just moved to chairman because of a vacancy.
The famous University of Chicago/Booth School of Business advisory committee has CEOs and business leaders from all over the world, including China. Same with Wharton and London School of Economics.
I see no reason why prestigious universities from other countries teaching management doesn't do the same.

Why not just move Apple HQ over to China already if you love them so much.
