Harvard University, the wealthiest university in the world, is recommending that some of its students apply to receive federal food stamp benefits.

“Did you know that Grad Students may qualify to receive assistance paying for food & groceries?” the Harvard University Health Services advertised on a flyer for an event earlier this year.

The school has an endowment of $53 billion, the largest economic endowment in the world. The university’s advice that graduate students seek food stamps comes as graduate students have demanded Harvard increase their $40,000 yearly wage.

[How dare the peasants complain about their starvation wages! (Well, sorta.) Why should American taxpayers support Harvard employees rather than Harvard using the interest off its $53 billion endowment to properly compensate them? — Ed]
