Harvard Receives Donation for Gun Control

Harvard University’s School of Public Health will accept a $350 million donation to study gun violence and “other complex health threats challenging the U.S. and the world.”  Morningside Foundation is making the donation, and is the largest donation received by the university.

The anti-gun movement is one of the most significant new developments in our lifetime.  Last year, anti-gun activist Michael Bloomberg donated $350 million to Johns Hopkins University’s School of Public Health to help “build a national grass-roots movement that will pressure lawmakers to pass more restrictive gun laws.” 

Harvard was chosen to receive the donation because one of the descendants of the foundation attended the school previously.  However Harvard’s School of Public Health already had a long record of aggressive support for gun control, largely funded by the Joyce Foundation and other progressive donors.
