Good for them! That’s a hell of a thing to invest in! jmo

Love it when the Left's insanity is turned against itself

Running a prison system for profit is just wrong. The fact that Harvard has them in their investment portfolio must mean they're paying large dividends. Are they making those profits by providing sub-standard services?

🙄 Are they even investors?

Idiots, free all the prisoners & make this a 3rd world country. How can anyone especially an educated college student or professor. Most of them are or will be lawyers. Why did you waste all that money to be a lawyer if you won't work to keep us safe.the first 3 letters are law!

What kind of standing do they have?

If you hate them so much, drop out and go somewhere else.

Not yesterday, but still:

Yes, Harvard is basically Mordor. We've all known it for a long time.
