[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's so tabloid to always mention the endowment in these stories, as if it's a bank account. [/quote]

but a good chunk of it is fairly liquid.

taxpayers pay for those endowments because of the growth that is never taxed, and through the deductions on the big gifts.  they owe us some better behavior.[/quote]

+1. This.  Private universities like Harvard receive hundreds of millions in ta[b]xpayer funded grants for research.[/b]  They are sheltered from many taxes including property taxes.  Harvard can afford to pay some hourly workers during a pandemic.  It needs to be modeling better behavior. It is not “tabloid” to point out they have an endowment worth billions.

The research goes to research.  You know that.  The endowment is for the endowment.  You know that.  Did you bother to read anything from Bacon before he got sick?  These are by hour employees not covered by a union contract.  Did you read any email the school sent either of you? Obviously not.  Signed a Harvard Law Grad who actually knows what is going on in the Legal Counsels's office (yes there are more than one).
