evidence: The cost of running Harvard This is from the 28 August 2017 Bloomberg Businessweek: [...] That is from Kyle Stock, I cannot find it on-line. (I am a biased source, but do note that the new, gated version of Bloomberg Businessweek is consistently excellent.) One of the difficulties with scaling up, of course, is that Harvard cannot always so easily scale the quality and resources of its donors. "Harvard as we know it" may be as large as the current set of donors can support. And "Harvard as we know it" likes…"Harvard as we know it," not some other Harvard.
