Harvard

The government funding of universities, such as Harvard, has come under scrutiny and exposed some interesting information. Most of the government money is designated toward projects for the government such as research grants for medicine and military. So far so good. In practice the universities skim money off the top for other uses that the university selects. It is like Planned Parenthood saying they don’t use government money for abortions just for other healthcare. Money is fungible and like most other situations, congress does not follow up with oversight to see how the funds are being spent. This is the same with many different government agencies and groups within agencies. The misuse of funds has recently been exposed by DOGE. It is possible that the country is just too large for congress to keep tabs on.
