Nice work Riley Acton and colleagues!

This is exactly right. Some institutions are fraudulent, unfortunately. We need to make right by their victims and prevent them (and other institutions) from doing harm going forward. Prior admin fostered an environment where these institutions thrived.

Great reporting here but for all the talk about divestment and transparency, I would hope someone simply asked the Harvard Corporation reps why the Harvard endowment gets a 2.9% rate of return
