Interim Harvard President Makes Almost $1M a Year From Drug Companies in Addition to His $946K Salary
2024-01-08
[Daily Caller] Harvard University’s Provost and Interim President Dr. Alan Garber
...one of those high-energy types who got an MD from Stanford while earning a PhD in economics from Harvard. He’s a busy man, teaching economics for the Arts&Sciences crowd plus health care policy at the med school, the Kennedy School of Government, and the Chen School of Public Policy, all while provosting — and now he’s president of the university, too...
has made millions from sitting on pharmaceutical company boards during his time with the school.

Garber made more than $2.7 million from board seats with pharmaceutical firms Exelixis, Inc. and Vertex Pharmaceuticals since becoming Harvard provost in 2011, the Harvard Crimson reported in 2019, citing company filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Both firms confirmed to the outlet Garber received compensation without performing any additional duties beyond his board memberships.
Sounds about right.
