Harvard’s endowment grew to $56.7 billion, operating revenues are up by 3%, current-use gifts are up by $629 million, & federal funds are almost fully restored. Claiming that layoffs are necessary due to severe financial constraint is untrue and morally wrong.

Harvard’s endowment rose to $56.9 billion. The university is still facing extraordinary financial pressure. - The Boston Globe

If University leaders yield to government threats by laying off staff who make Harvard's teaching & research possible—destroying those workers livelihoods—they will also hand the administration exactly what it wants: a weakened University stripped of its conviction, brought to submission by fear.

🚨 Harvard should base critical staffing decisions that will impact staff members livelihoods on each school’s current financial reality, not on the shifting shadow of threats from the Trump administration that may never materialize.
