The researchers, HMS’ Thier Professor of Medicine and Professor of Health Care Policy David Blumenthal ’70 and Hirsh Professor of Health Law and Policy Sara Rosenbaum will use the award—which was granted by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS)—to lead a team of experts in assessing different standards of health IT measurement...

The janitors, who are in the midst of renegotiating their contract with Harvard, are currently paid $13.50 per hour. This salary represents an over $2 per hour increase (adjusted for inflation) from the living wage terms Harvard agreed to in 2001 when SLAM’s predecessor, the Progressive Student Labor Movement, helped janitors win a $10.25 living wage.
