Harvard University will receive nearly $9 million in aid from the federal government through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, the Department of Education announced last week.
The CARES Act — the largest economic stimulus package in American history — was signed into law on March 27. It allocates nearly $14 billion to support higher education institutions during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Of the $8,655,748 Harvard is slated to receive, the government has mandated that at least half — $4,327,874 — be reserved for emergency financial aid grants to students.
The Department of Education will distribute the first $6.28 billion to colleges and universities to cover expenses such as course materials, technology, food, and housing students have incurred “related to disruptions in their education due to the COVID-19 outbreak,” according to a April 9 press release.

Can anyone explain this.... I am not so happy with everyone getting a check...there are a few people who probably don’t need it. Will this ever be paid back?
Certainly nobody expected small business to get a dime from these politicians. Less will come from Pelosi’s addition.

No doubt, the House Democrats are behind that obscene waste. Did they hold another bill hostage, so they could inject that garbage?
Harvard’s endowment should be confiscated and spent on education.

“Harvard’s endowment should be confiscated and spent on education”.... Yes
Nobody has yet to comment on the cost of home schooling the kids. It is a damned if you do and don’t. Yes. The cost of one working parent having to stay home to teach a bunch of kids properly or the cost of someone else doing the same is too high to do if not paid for it.
I remember homeschooling my kids and I was going through graduate school at the time. I almost keeled over from fatigue. It was really hard to do the necessary work to make home schooling work and to prepare for my classes and tests.
I think if the home schooling teacher was properly compensated hers or his job would be greatly enhanced.
