Harvard, Boasting $40 Billion Endowment, Lays Off Dining Hall Workers Due to Coronavirus

Harvard University, which has the largest endowment of any school in the country, is cutting its subcontracted dining hall workers without pay.

Liberals may have been able to get some to buy into that awhile ago but not now. They added billions onto the Corona virus package to give money to the Kennedy Center, screw hospitals that they could have fought for. Forget about the people. All those that claimed they were liberal and complained about the deficit are shown for the fools they were. You had idiots who complained about GDP but are criticizing Trump for suggesting that some may go back to work instead of hiding have shown that GDP was never a consideration.

They are liberals

the idea that liberal academics care about others is a lie

It’s sickening. Harvard should be ashamed. While it is true that laying off workers does make them eligible for UE benefits as opposed to a reduction in hours...much better to use your largess and pay the folks. Again, shameful

Sadly, most endowments have conditions as to what the money can be used for. Don’t know if that is the case, that all of it has conditions, but it might.

thought you would think we the money universities are getting in the pkg, that should more than cover it.
