[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After H lost its affirmative action lawsuit, lost its effort to have its insurer to pay, it's going extreme by asking its students to apply for food stamps...  So apply if your kid can live on peanut butter & jelly sandwich 3x a day. Harvard applicants must not like 3 square meals a day.

This refers to graduate students. The request for a 60K stipend is pretty steep and will have knock on effects (e.g. commensurate increases in postdoctoral fellow salaries in the sciences from limited Federal grant funds). An additional 20K/year for several thousand grad students would amount to ~100M/year from the endowment. [/quote]

They're the ones teaching the undergrads. If Harvard feels it appropriate to charge a charge a family 80k and then tell their kid to go to someone on food stamps when they have an organic chem question, then the parents might wonder where the money is going [/quote]
