Harvard has a $53 billion endowment. That’s a little less than the annual budget of the state it’s in. But still the wealthy woke uni is crying poverty over what it calls “substantial financial uncertainties driven by rapidly shifting federal policies.”

Those are weasel words since what Harvard is really worried about are administration cuts driven by wasteful fake research spending and crackdowns on tolerance for campus antisemitism.

And Harvard has good reason to be worried about both of those things.

Harvard has the money to persevere, but instead, it’s pausing staff and faculty hiring “until we better understand how changes in federal policy will take shape and can assess the scale of their impact.”

If Harvard really wanted to save money though, it would shed some of its 7,000+ administrators.

“At Harvard there are approximately 1.45 administrators for every academic employee and 3.09 administrators when considering only faculty, combining for a total of 7,024 total full-time administrators in 2022–only slightly fewer than the undergraduate population.”

Imagine how much money firing 6,000 administrators would save?
