I wonder how they plan to atone for selling our country to Communist China.
This sounds like a money-laundering step to me.

“Why only a $100 million? If you are truly sorry you’d give it all. In fact shut down the evil institution.”
This.
And then give the land back to the Indians.

Who cares what Harvard wants to do with their money?

I’m all for making the people that captured and sold the blacks and put them on slave ships pay reparations.
To: vetvetdoug
Coming to America was an escape from a much worse life. The present generation of blacks OWES THEIR ANCESTORS and it's about time they thank them for walking the road that lead to today.
Blacks....get your a** in gear and make them proud.
Stop pulling this....woe is me....sh**.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Well they do need something to do with all the chinese $$$$$ they’ve gotten.

$100,000,000 in 2022 would be equivalent to $5,252,100.8 in 1636. (The U.S. dollar has lost ~94% its value since 1636)
$100,000,000 in 2022 would be equivalent to $3,687,315.6 in 1783. (The U.S. dollar has lost ~96% its value since 1783)
So, lets say ~13 generations (~30 yrs. each) since 1636. A single slave family in 1636 could have at Gen. 15: ~2,000,000 direct living descendants.
Yeah, give them all their $50, assuming thy all live in the USA.

Shouldn’t they be paying some Irish families for their role in eugenics too?

Bacow said Harvard will attempt to redress its wrongs through “teaching, research and service.” He is creating a committee to implement the report’s suggestions.
The headline makes it sound like Harvard is giving away the money. But it seems from the above quote from the article that Harvard is folding the money back into its own activities, rather than paying reparations.
To: Altura Ct.
THAT is the truth! So they need to give it all to...to...to. the HISPANICS!

Yes, that is an important part. Give the land to the Indians.

Harvard can start by releasing the foreign student records of Obama.
To: ridesthemiles
It sounds to me like Harvard is ripping off its students for tuition money. They’ve got so much money they can throw it away on crap like this.

Big education is basically a money transfer from students borrowing to give to Democrats with universities and their employees as middlemen.

How many Boston indentured servants went unpaid, underpaid, and with promises unkept?
I know at least one. He escaped to Philadelphia.

$100K is lunch money in the staff cafeteria. Be sincere and pledge one half of your endowment. That will be a nice start to atone for your sins.
