I don&#x27;t have any objections to the Harvard endowment being so large. What this article doesn&#x27;t mention, however, is that there is a growing trend of corporations and the wealthy buying questionable research in order to achieve political&#x2F;business goals, more and more educational institutions are becoming depended on this kind of income. This sort of thing should probably be taxed (if it&#x27;s legal to begin with). (This is not specific to Harvard, Harvard is probably least guilty of this, actually).
