Context necessary: the funding was specifically from the "Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and
Economic Security Act", aka "CARES" act. Insofar as Harvard receiving less than "some other schools in the greater Boston area", that's true. Out of 11 area colleges and universities, Harvard received less than
3 other schools. In other words, it received the fourth highest amount of funding of the 11 area schools.

Who, specifically, are you referring to? I'm not interested in statistics or generalities/suppositions about the American population. If you're making a claim that this money is going to
actual known criminals
and the government intentionally isn't pursuing them, then please advise everyone.
