Harvard decided that they will no longer provide the hot breakfasts in most dorms and the pastries at Widener Library. Varsity athletes are no longer guaranteed free sweatsuits, and just this week came the jarring news that professors will go without cookies at faculty meetings. (credit to NYTimes for directly copying)
So now they richest university in the world knows to save their money, with the value of its endowment down by almost 30 percent. And I wonder should TAS also learn to put the money we pay on better purposes, not for the cookies and pizzas for those teachers?

very true. but since the school actually rips the students off, they can then of course afford to pay for the faculties cookies.
ReplyDeleteCookies and pizza for faculty IS a good form of investment. You wouldn't want starving teachers would you?
ReplyDeleteactually Thomas yes i would love to have starving teachers, as an result not only do we get class time off while they are "sneaking out" during class to the snack bar, but we can also blackmail them into buying us. Its a win win :DD
