And no cops or firemen staying in their dorms, either, I'm guessing
/Harvard ($40.9 B endowment) fires its dining hall workers w/o severance pay
“This whole Asian sickness thingamabob is just causing us all sorts of inconvenience” Harvard Trustee Thursten Howell III told FWIW. “What with the students leaving, and that new, dreadful tax on our endowment: 1.4%! — can you imagine? Well, I tell you, economies must be taken, and who better to make them than a dishwasher? He knows to suffer, I’m sure, so what’s a bit more?
“Besides, these people love us, and are no doubt delighted to do a bit of sacrificing for the good of this fine institution”.
UPDATE: There’s a petition circulating asking Harvard to turn its now-empty dorms into homeless shelters! What fun! I’ve signed, and hope ypu’ll show your compassion by doing likewise. Maybe they’ll have to rehire those cafeteria workers to serve them.
