Members of the 13-person body that oversees Harvard University donated to Democrats over Republicans during the 2020 election cycle by a ratio of 136 to 1, according to an analysis performed by a student newspaper.
The entity is known as the Harvard Corporation. Its members in aggregate donated more than $899,000 to Democratic candidates for federal office in 2020 – as opposed to $6,600 to Republican candidates for federal office, according to The Harvard Crimson.
Members of a legislative committee got an earful this week from opponents of a bill that would force community college students in Massachusetts to get vaccinated for coronavirus.
The bill, originally filed in May, may be moot, because state community colleges announced September 21 that they plan to require students to get vaccinated starting in January 2022. Four-year state colleges in Massachusetts are already requiring coronavirus vaccinations for in-person attendance on campus unless people qualify for a religious exemption or medical exemption.
