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?

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.
