#1 Wrong tense. Harvard IS now and has always been greedy. Their begging and rent-seeking are legendary. Not to mention their land theft.

#2 About 45-50% of Harvard's undergraduates every year are full-freight, i.e. their parents write checks for $75,000 or more, or $300,000+ for these kids' undergraduate degrees.

At the rate of increase, that sum paid by nearly half of H's brats will amount to half a million dollars for a shitty undergrad BA or BS -- with honors, of course, since every H student has an 'A' average whether he or she's actually mastered anything or not.

So that means every year, the H. Admissions Committee needs to find and persuade to attend H some 800 or so ultra-wealthy children. The same goes for another 25 or so absurdly expensive overrated private colleges that also charge their wealthy spawn ridiculous suns for their buttwipe BA/BS undergrad degrees.

Among this nation's best and brightest college-bound HS seniors there simply aren't enough ultra-wealthy high achievers to full those spots. (It's all there in the SAT's data sets.)

Where does all this lead?

To China, of course, and to our shitty politico-oligarch class.

It's largely from China and from our Gores and Obamas and Clintons and Bushes and the rest of the SS clown-roster that these overrated, overfunded, overcharging private elite colleges fill their classes and from whom they fund their operations.

It's no wonder our age has produced such a stupid, incompetent and shitty political class.

#3 A.B. or S.B. I think, unless they changed it. Just tweaking you, Lex :)

My kids had the same point of view though; they thought Harvard undergrad was a joke and refused to even apply. Their tune changed when it was time to get their PhD's.

#5 Harvard is saying their funds came from CARES, not PPP, which is good I guess because they qualified. CARES money is supposed to be split 50/50, students in financial need / coronavirus expenses. They 'said' they would be vectoring all of it to students in financial need. Cheap PR for them. Not everything they do sucks, but then I remember the Chem dept head being hauled away. That is a raw spot for me, as it smells like corruption.
