The fact that Harvard bent over for a “donation” is just pathetic. They have a $50bn endowment. What is even the point of having that much money if not to be uncompromising on academic freedom?

I dunno if you've heard this, but under capitalism, more > less. And they got 1% more!

Harvard has been unethical in many cases in the name of growing their endowment. As if they were a corporation beholden to shareholders. Harvard Has a Brand Problem. Here’s How to Fix It.
