Mom kicked 'em out? Way to go mom!

That must be a mistake. Maybe they meant “Haarvaard” University.

Buncha Commies....

The overrated universities, like Harvard, have been a weak point in American society for quite awhile. Spewing out anti-capitalist bs while they sit on huge endowments and enjoy ‘not for profit’ status.

[AndyJackson]

This is just another example of how to push up inflation.

There is no hypocrisy like hypocrisy overgrown with ivy.

[LouAvul]

Typical libs. They’re all about redistribution of wealth as long as it’s not their wealth that’s being redistributed. Sanctimonious old goats.

“the grad students who do most of the teaching, advising, and mentoring at Harvard”.

Make the professors do their job instead-—save a lot of money.
Then the grad students can go find a job that matches their degree. I’m sure there are plenty of good paying jobs for the gender study grads. They won’t need welfare then.

[popdonnelly]

Harvard is an elitist haven.

[The Louiswu]

Sigh

[nonliberal]

I’m all in favor of forgiving student loans and paying for it with a tax on these massive endowments.

--- "Fury as Harvard University encourages students to apply for food stamps from the government despite $53BILLLION endowment"

We mere mortals and rubes should be more understanding, as poor Harvard can only afford to pay many in its administration and faculty a million and more USD each year, and that....

... oh, wait.

[butlerweave]

Teach them to be Leeches early

[cherry]

kind of like the mormons holding onto their tax evading $100 billion all the while demanding a tithe....

bow down to the almighty dollar.

[ansel12]

I believe this and cross-dressers reading to 5-year-olds in public libraries, and free summer lunches for all the school kids in my community although they don’t need them and are not means tested, are all about smoothing them out and conditioning them for future voting and political compliance.

Political conditioning, making things normal and routine, eliminating any internal or individual resistance to government services, or biological revulsion.

[antidemoncrat]

Universities have morphed into Univer$itie$

[Vaduz]

Okay students our first class will be parasite training....

[markman46]

I call BS, $40,000 does not qualify one for food stamps, a Grad student would not even get the min of $23.00 a month

[Svartalfiar]

Harvard has some 21,766 graduate students. If the university were to sacrifice 1/50th of its $53.2billion endowment, it could, in theory, pay each student $48,883 - a nearly $9,000 increase over their current stipends of $40,0000.

Well that math isn't right - if Haarvaard sacked a billion dollars to pay the grad students, that would be in addition to the current salary, not already part of it. They'd be getting almost $90M in that case.

If they wanted to just boost the salary to $49M each, they'd only have to sacrifice maybe 1/270th of their endowment, not 1/50th of it.

How pathetic. I’d say Shame on Harvard, but they have no shame.
