Harvard University comes under fire for being stingy with its endowment during cv19 crisis

They have a 40 billion dollar endowment and just laid off their entire dining hall staff without pay.

Also, they didn't help pay for any travel expenses for their low income students after the school forced the student body to move out of the college housing, something every other major university did.

Harvard University, which has the largest endowment of any school in the country, is cutting its subcontracted dining hall workers without pay as it shuts down in response to the coronavirus pandemic.

The move is drawing criticism from employment rights advocates on and off campus who point to the university's $40.9 billion endowment as evidence that the school is hardly in financial straits. They also claim the decision violates Harvard's wage equality policy, which requires the university to compensate dining hall contract workers in a fashion comparable to the school's directly hired employees.
