KIND OF FUNNY

 I scanned this bit of fluff and found it amusing.

"One of Harvard University’s former top officials has been named in two ethics complaints over his law firm billing the school $42 million while he held office.

The Massachusetts Attorney General is looking into whether or not Harvard was right to pay law firm Wilmer Hale the money while partner William Lee was a member of the Board of Overseers and director of the Harvard Corporation, the New York Post reported.

The news outlet reported Thursday “that the Massachusetts Board of Bar Overseers and the state’s attorney general have been sent formal complaints accusing Lee of ‘possible conflict of interest by trustee/director with pecuniary interest in service provider to Harvard.’”

“Lee, who graduated from Harvard in 1972, served on the university’s board of directors from July 2010 to June 2022, and was senior fellow of the Harvard Corporation from 2014 to 202

 Every single bit of cachet and raison d'être that the Ivy League has/had is about making connections to allow its graduates to feather their nests at the public's expense through insider deals and trading on favors. Now they notice that this looks unethical? 

You know at some point these rocket scientists are going to begin to wonder why NASA is still procuring services from United Launch and then there will be some serious law suits and NASA people going to jail and it won't do much good to point at Congress and shouting about how "they made us do it!"
