Good day all. Harvard University is one of the wealthiest, if not the wealthiest university in the country. They are sitting on something like $50 Billion dollars in endowments. They have so much cash that they could fund every student enrolled right through a full four years and probably through doctorates. So why are they telling students that they should go on Food stamps?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Tuition to Harvard<\/a> is not cheap. Between the basic tuition, fees and other costs, it hits over $75K per year. So why is Harvard telling undergrads to go on food stamps? Here are the details from Yahoo! Finance<\/b><\/a>:<\/p>\n

Harvard University recently organized an event to support graduate students enrolling in government food assistance programs. <\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Health Services office sent a flier to graduate students, encouraging them to participate in the SNAP Benefits Sign-Up event in April. The flier read, “Fuel your body & stock your pantry. Did you know that grad students may qualify for assistance paying for food & groceries?” <\/b><\/p>\n

Whoever came up with this in the Health Services office needs to be fired and investigated for potential fraud and conspiracy charges. The university public relations office has to be tearing their hair out over how this looks, and they have enough problems dealing with the institutional racism of the university administration. (They hate Asians and Caucasians)<\/p>\n

Harvard University is the wealthiest academic institution globally, boasting an endowment of approximately $53 billion. With such a substantial endowment, Harvard has the means to support a wide array of academic programs, research endeavors, scholarships and initiatives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They do, but they would rather spend the money buying Cambridge Massachusetts.<\/p>\n

The Harvard Graduate Students Union (HGSU) expressed its view, advocating for more substantial measures to assist graduate students, primarily by increasing their salaries. According to HGSU’s proposal, all graduate student workers should receive a minimum annual salary of $60,000, a significant increase from the current minimum salary of $40,000. The union believes that providing adequate compensation directly to the students would alleviate the need for external assistance programs like SNAP. <\/b><\/p>\n

I\u2019m not going to get into graduate students and getting paid. I simply don\u2019t have the information to talk about it. I was under the impression, and I am ready to be corrected, that this is basically a part time job while the students were working on their degrees. I know there are reports of grad students going on strike and colleges\/universities getting rid of them.<\/p>\n

The high cost of living in Boston only adds to Harvard students’ struggle. Many people across various professions and walks of life face similar challenges. But the proximity to cutting-edge innovation and opportunities in technology, entrepreneurship and startups presents a potential solution for those seeking to get in at the ground level of the next big thing. <\/b><\/p>\n

Massachusetts is a state that\u2019s been under progressive domination for decades. If you are part of the Ruling One Percent Elite, it\u2019s like Kalifornistan, then running the state like it\u2019s your own personal plantation. They have been looting the taxpayers for generations and now the bill is coming in. As to all those cutting edge start ups? Yeah, they\u2019re starting to rethink being in Massachusetts, just as they are rethinking being in Kalifornistan.<\/p>\n

In response to the concerns, a Harvard spokesperson reached out to Motherboard<\/a> via email, explaining that the informational session sought to assist students in signing up for the federal program. The session aimed to provide guidance on creating inexpensive yet nutritious meals to support the students’ well-being. <\/b><\/p>\n

The fact that Harvard is telling undergraduates and others to basically go on welfare while charging them $75K per year is a disgrace. Harvard, like most colleges and universities, have a tax exempt status. I think it\u2019s time to revisit that status, and Harvard\u2019s $50 billion dollar endowment looks like a good place to start. Perhaps give them a 5 year notice and then tax the endowment 10% per year on funds not spent supporting the students, such as FEEDING THEM! It\u2019s time for some of these progressive elitist ivy league universities to feel some pain like all of us \u201cCommon folk.\u201d That and investigations into just how much it really costs for a bachelor\u2019s degree. (I\u2019d bet it\u2019s a lot less then $75K\/year)<\/p>\n
