Harvard Is Encouraging Students To Go On Food Stamps

Ivy League school Harvard University has encouraged its students to go on food stamps.

Harvard which has a yearly endowment of 53 billion and charges out-of-state students up to $55,000 a year, released a flier that read “‘Did you know that Grad Students may qualify to receive assistance paying for food & groceries?”

The flier was released by Harvard University Health Services and was specially advertised to graduate students.

If everyone saw expense reports from elite universities like Harvard, they would be livid. These schools spend absurd amounts of money on "image", "brand", "university presidents, deans and coaches." Yet they urge students to go on food stamps. 🤨 pic.twitter.com/ZLQNrxt9TF

Here’s what The Daily Mail reported:

An event at Harvard University encouraged some graduate students to apply for food stamps, despite the school’s $53 billion endowment.

Earlier this year, Harvard University Health Services reminded grad students that they could fuel their bodies and stock their pantries by using government assistance to pay for groceries.

‘Did you know that Grad Students may qualify to receive assistance paying for food & groceries?’ read a flier for the event.

Harvard’s endowment makes it the richest university in the world, a fact that sparked outrage among community members who argued that paying graduate students a livable food stipend would barely even register in the school’s massive budget.

Graduate students are also paid a $40,000 yearly wage by the university.

Harvard in the last several years has had its fair share of controversies.

One of the controversies was when the institution gave convicted pedophile Jeffery Epstein his on office on Harvard’s campus.

Since Harvard University gave Jeffrey Epstein an office w/in their facility after 2008 despite him having been arrested for having sex w/ underage girls, that tells all you need to know about Harvard! It has ceased to be a respectable university.https://t.co/9frB5qc7aO https://t.co/uHzWmR2Gg4

Per the New York Post:

Jeffrey Epstein maintained his own private office on Harvard University’s campus for a decade after his 2008 conviction for sex crimes, red-faced officials at the Ivy League school admitted.

The disgraced financier had “unlimited access” to the university’s Graduate School of Arts and Sciences until 2018, according to an investigative report issued by the school Friday.

Epstein used his own key card and campus passcode to make at least 40 visits to an office known as “Jeffrey’s Office” at the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics. He had showered the program with $6.5 million before he served time for soliciting sex with a minor.

Harvard professor Martin Nowak, the program’s director, was placed on paid leave in the wake of the damning report — which detailed how Epstein furnished the space with rugs and photos, how he used it to meet with unnamed “political figures,” and how his visits to the campus were always in the company of twentysomething “personal assistants.”
