Fair Harvard
Only a churl would juxtapose Monday's report in the Harvard Crimson that Harvard is eliminating 18 librarians' jobs with the Globe story earlier this month about the $107 million payout to six investment managers at the Harvard Management Co. According to the Crimson, Harvard's library system has to cut $2.3 million in fiscal year 2005, scaling back on both hours and jobs. Better the money runners should buy a second Jaguar than layabout librarians collect their pathetic pittance, I say! This is one university that has its priorities straight.
An alert reader spotted this related job posting at the World's Greatest University: "Case manager . . . Support laid-off employees in Central Administration with internal and external job search . . . [Don't try the libraries! - A. B.] This is a term appointment through August 31, 2004. Position is 60% time initially, hours may expand depending upon need for services." Emphasis added by resident churl.
