Harvard University, which has the largest endowment of any school in the country, is cutting its subcontracted dining hall workers without pay as it shuts down in response to the coronavirus pandemic. The move is drawing criticism from employment rights advocates on and off campus who point to the university's $40.9 billion endowment as evidence that the school is hardly in financial straits. They also claim the decision violates Harvard's wage equality policy, which requires the university to compensate dining hall contract workers in a fashion comparable to the school's directly hired employees.

Worth more than the staff!
Liberals. Do what I say, not what I do.
no choice.
Harvard has to pay PokahauntUS
and the other corrupt lawyers who also feed off taxpayers;
and has to now pay
and the corrupt lawyers defending their treasonous professors
who worked with Wuhan and Xi for their murder-by-virus
project.
Little people don’t matter.
And that beotch Pelosi wanted to forgive student debt. What a bunch of degenerates.
LIBERALS at work. They are the most lying A-holes when it comes to this stuff. The grubby bums cannot see anything but $$$ and it ain’t for the needy. IT is for THEM!!!
Maybe Michelle has volunteered to garden and fix lunch.
The alumni must be proud.
Universities have become money machines. Education is secondary.
Harvard could pay these workers by finding money under faculty coaches.
Head of harvard has the virus
Harvard especially-is just a snob factory
Well, those people are “THOSE people”, y’know? /s
Another rat American scam. Raid their endowments and pay off the loans students and parents were scammed into
Liberals NEVER want to spend their own money to pay for the things they champion.
So it’s subcontracted work which means they’re not Harvard’s employees. Why doesn’t their employer pay them? When I hire a roofer, I’m not paying his employees when the season ends.
An endowment isn’t a cavern full of cash. Under the current stock market conditions, it would probably be a violation of the trustees’ fiduciary duty to their client if they sold securities.
That said, it would be an act of great liberality for the every comfortably-well-off employee or alumnus to assume responsibility for paying for a worker’s needs for the duration.
Liberal institutions should be required to paste the liberal motto on every building: “If it were not for double standards, we’d have no standards at all.”
