Harvard is now encouraging its students to start using food stamps rather than spend money on food.
According to the Washington Free Beacon, a flier for an event hosted earlier this year by Harvard’s Health Services asks students “did you know that Grad Students may qualify to receive assistance paying for food & groceries?”
This development has resulted in backlash against the university, as it boasts the world’s largest academic endowment, at a staggering $53 billion. In addition to the endowment, Harvard also receives federal funding to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars every year, primarily for research purposes.
