Winning!

Harvard University said it will not take the $8.6 million in aid with was granted as part of the U.S. government’s efforts to cushion the economic impact of the coronavirus lockdown, reversing itself and bending to U.S. President Donald Trump who said Tuesday that the university should not take the money.
“Harvard is going to pay back the money and they shouldn’t be taking it,” Trump said Tuesday at a White House press briefing.
Harvard said Tuesday that it planned to keep the money, promising to use it for student financial assistance but not for institutional costs.
On Wednesday, the university reversed itself. Harvard has an endowment worth nearly $41 billion, a fund so large that some have described it as “a hedge fund disguised as a university.”

I’m not tired of winning, yet.
In just after the not tired of winning yet post.
WINNING.
Shine a light on a rat and it runs.
Looks kind of bad when Harvard is sitting on $41B and it is terminating hourly employees.
The more their huge endowment is in the news, the worse it is for them.
They didn’t do this willingly, I’m sure. Thanks for posting!
Gee, I could swear many liberals were posting that Harvard never was awarded any monies.
40 BILLION dollar endowment fund. There’s your relief right there.
Makes you wonder who is behind the scenes.
$8 million is a drop in the bucket to Harvard, but it could do a lot of good for people who couldn’t even afford a walking tour of the campus. Good to see the Harvard fatheads had enough shame left to decline the money.
Good job
“a hedge fund disguised as a university.”
“Feh! It’s a hassle to process! Will just sip from our monthly interest.”
bttt
Liberal academia twisting in the wind....love it.
They didn’t want their endowments to be investigated
Gore, Mark Sucklebird, Barak and Michelle....
