Harvard University is encouraging students to apply for government assisted food programs despite being the wealthiest school in the world.
This after graduate students complained that their yearly $40,000 salary isn’t enough money for them to skate buy. The Harvard Graduate Students Union (HGSU) has submitted a proposal demanding a $20,000 salary increase, stating that $60,000 should be the bare minimum given to each graduate student per year, according to Benzinga.
The request followed a flier that had been sent to graduate students by the Health Services offices in April, which encouraged these “prestigious” students to apply for SNAP benefits.
The flier read, “Fuel your body & stock your pantry. Did you know that grad students may qualify for assistance paying for food & groceries?”
The HGSU explained that graduate students would not need to apply for government assisted food programs if the elitist university increases their salaries.
WOW …. What is this country turning into ??
