As you probably know already, Harvard has had a rough few months. In fact it feels like it has been one bad news story after another ever since the 10/7 attack on Israel by Hamas.

What do Cornell University in upstate New York and Harvard have in common? Quite a bit as it turns out. They are both Ivy League universities with well-stocked trust funds.
