Morons. When Harvard can stand to lose billions in taxpayer funding, the double down personally on stupid.

[cgbg]

These professors really need to learn how to count fingers and toes.

Harvard’s endowment is in the range of 51 billion dollars.

[Laslo Fripp]

Is there a lower limit on the stupidity scale?

[9YearLurker]

I guess that won’t be tax deductible on their part:

The dorks are being overpaid anyway. They won’t miss it.

[Lockbox]

The Force is strong with these idiots! Talk about indoctrination complete, these fools will donate to the richest university in the World to help out like good little boys and girls, all the while their leaders are laughing about the fools giving up 10%….

[I want the USA back]

None of our taxpayer money should be given to private universities. Not a cent.

[DIRTYSECRET]

Like Mprmons-10% to the church.

Thomas Sowell wrote none of them are on welfare.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Harvard has 152 billion dollars and the dorks that hang out there for a living are giving them 10% of what they make. ROTFL. Time to start piss testing those clowns.

[bert]

While forgoing 10% of salaries, the 80 are panicking to protect the millions they receive in federal grants that allow unaccountable expenditures on them selves

[bray]

This is the insane brainwashed teaching our elite’s brats.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Shoot. I blew that one. It’s endowment is 52.3 billion. Still. That’s a lot of money for a Ivy league beer joint.

[Leaning Right]

> More than 80 Harvard faculty members pledged to donate 10 percent of their salaries for up to a year … <

Well, that’s not very impressive. A true revolutionary would donate 100%, then pitch a tent on some Harvard lawn.

[TTFlyer]

One must tithe to receive dispensation from the Great God of Marxism.

[Bob434]

I’ll be surprised if they pledge it with NO strings attached

[nopardons]

BTTT

[EQAndyBuzz]

What’s the point of an endowment if they don’t use it for anything.

[Mouton]

Given they are paid twice the going rate, they are pikers.

[Marko413]

80+ faculty giving 10% for a current total of 2mil. That’s an average salary of $250k. Doesn’t include all the benefits they are getting from the funding. Assume that’s why they are fighting it. Still, I’m in the wrong business.

[Tymesup]

These faculty members have average salaries of 250K.
