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.

Universities have morphed into Univer$itie$

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

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

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.

Actually, that would be low enough to qualify, if you have five or more kids.

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