[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's laying off only those that don't fall under a union contract.  All colleges and universities will be doing this to non union employees.  The endowment is constricted by too many legal requirements to cover this situation.  Many of the endowment gifts are restricted, as are mind to Harvard[/quote]

I don't think you understand how endowments work. Mine are restricted to go to certain programs in the law school to fund students I want to fund and programs I want to fund.  It can't be touched to pay for non unionized employees.  That's just how endowments work.  Mine isn't even in the general endowment.[/quote]

I'm sure that Harvard has plenty of money in its operating budget to keep paying the dining hall staff (costs of admissions events, commencement, conferences, etc.).  Heck, they can even use the student activity fees still unspent for the semester.

I hope the students rise up to protest (since they usually protest things that are a lot less worthy).[/quote]
