Harvard University rejected calls from President Trump on Tuesday to return coronavirus relief money to the federal government, maintaining that the funds from a higher education program under the CARES Act are being used to provide direct assistance to students facing financial turmoil due to the pandemic.

They have a $41 BILLION endowment.

Just think about how many businesses that $9 million could help.

These people simply do not care about Americans and this shows it without a doubt.

Like most colleges and universities, Harvard has been allocated funds as part of the CARES Act Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund.

That is a separate program from the PPP designed to help small businesses retain employees amid the pandemic.

“Watch them whine when Trump cuts off other federal funding.”

exactly ...
