Add Harvard University to the list of those angry with the just-signed GOP tax reform bill:

The new tax on university endowments will weaken financial aid, faculty and research initiatives, and other institutional programs that support students, professors, and medical and scientific studies https://t.co/FZtxYba4wM

Yeah, they’re not going to get a lot of support for this one:

Reading the comments, I'm not seeing much sympathy for Harvard on this one. https://t.co/ov9Z16x7kU

Gee whiz, I thought redistribution was a good thing.

What's weird is how the tax code under Democrats redistributed away from the middle class and to the wealthy. https://t.co/t6RxVAurQy

Your endowments are over $37 billion dollars a year. That's B for billion. https://t.co/UGSnKMLnPE

How can @Harvard be expected to survive on $200,000 for an undergraduate degree and their $35 billion endowment if they have to pay taxes on the returns of that endowment? Seems like bankruptcy is the only option. #Caring https://t.co/28cxYW5xKx
