Today, at 3pm, SLAM traveled to the offices of the Harvard Management Company, the Harvard subsidiary tasked with investing Harvard University's endowment. It's a 6 mile subway ride away from Harvard Yard on the 16th floor of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston. We we went there to ask for a meeting about prioritizing worker compensation over new investments.

When we walked into the lobby and asked for elevator access, the guard at the desk made a phone call to the HMC offices. Here's what the first five seconds of the phone call went like:

Guard: Hello, we have students from Harvard here for the Harvard Management Company.
Secretary: Uh oh.
Guard: Uh oh, why uh oh?

Sometimes the Crimson can frustrate us all, a la the staff editorial accepting layoffs.
