...justify their compensations by generating impressive endowment returns. Between 1995 and 2005, for instance, Harvard’s endowment garnered an annualized return of no less than 15.9 percent, which amounts to much more than the sum total of officials’ compensation packages. It is also worthwhile to note that Harvard manages its endowment in-house, so HMC officials appear only on the surface to make much more than money managers at peer institutions.

O’Connor echoed his coach’s assessment, making a note of the need for improvement.“It was tough outing,” he said. “Everything that could have gone wrong did, and we just wrestled poorly. We’re going to try to put [the BU match] behind us very quickly.”The Crimson did pick up two wins...
...Shortly before she was due to retire in 1998, an anonymous co-worker slipped a note into her mailbox at work comparing her pay against that of three other male counterparts. Ledbetter was making $3,727 per month, while men doing the same job were paid $4,286 to $5,236 per month. Ledbetter filed a complaint with the EEOC and was then assigned to lift heavy tires, which she felt was retribution...
