From the article:
"Business executives including Kind snack company founder Daniel Lubetzky, hedge fund manager Daniel Loeb, billionaire Len Blavatnik and real estate investor Joseph Sitt held a Zoom video call on April 26 with Mayor Eric Adams (D), about a week after the mayor first sent New York police to Columbia’s campus, a log of chat messages shows."
It names some. But the article continues and talks about more people in the chat without naming them.
Those are likely the people whose names are in the text chat log. The rest were smart enough not to write anything down (although transcription is a thing too).
