With any luck, the FAS’s new interest in reinstating secure spending policies will include reabsorbing laid-off staff members or reinstating cut hours as part of an effort to return services to the College and the university as a whole. The funds being directed toward professors and graduate students would conceivably have a bigger impact on the larger Harvard community if applied to initiatives such as bringing back hours in libraries and the Bureau of Study Council, serving hot breakfast, increasing hours for students who hold jobs on campus, and transitioning out of the hour...

According to Obama’s plan, tax credits will be given to industries that employ a certain number of low-skilled workers who would otherwise likely be fired as a result of the economic downturn. Historically, similar plans to keep workers employed during recessions have worked. The 1977 New Jobs Tax Credit was immediately followed by an 11.2 percent rise in employment—a record for the United States at the time...
