Drew Gilpin Faust, President of Harvard University:
Your employee, Professor Henry Louis Gates, Jr., has claimed property wholly owned by Harvard at 47 Ware Street, Cambridge, MA 02138 as his residence in numerous published reports.
It is our understanding that Professor Gates has not and is notpaying inputed income for the use of this property. The average comparable rent for a residence in the area of 47 Ware Street,Cambridge, MA 02138, is $4,750.00 monthly.
We have asked the office of Robert W. Healy, City Manager,Cambridge, Massachusetts to review the tax exempt status of the 47 Ware Street property to ascertain if the tax exemption is appropriate considering Harvard does not pay property taxes nor does the current resident, Henry L. Gates, Jr. The city and county are deprived of tax revenue for the private use of 47 Ware Street.
The inputed income is a separate issue because of state and federal income tax considerations.
