Out of all his ideas, not the worst.
I’d rather see the billions harvard get go into more local affordable places and benefit more people.
Than being pumped into a mega elite zionist private uni.
(Of course the chance he will actually do this is near zero, he’ll just siphon off the funds to make himself richer. But in theory, good idea.)
These are research grants. Trade schools do not do the type of research Harvard scientists do. It is the leading research institution in the world for many fields. Most of those grants are on the order of less than a million dollars and fund young, untenured researchers who will become the next generation of scientists. Alum sponsorships are almost always earmarked, and never for research purposes.
The irony of your username is dumbfounding
Harvard barely funds any ME/CFS research so I don’t get the irony. They have like one person at the hospital who occasionally publishes with Harvard credentials but they are funded by the Open Medicine Foundation which is a private charity.
I don’t think it’s ironic for me to wish the country didn’t pump half it’s research money into a couple elite universities mostly rich people get into. I’d like to see it distributed in a less centralised way.
Yeah let the Harvard alums cover the 3b. If it's anything like all the other land grant universities in the country, they are just using it to build swanky dorms.
