...president of Harvard Real Estate--were unavailable for comment yesterday. The 22 percent increase scheduled for July follows a 19 per cent jump last year, and tenants say the rent hikes have far outpaced salary increases. The BGTA said in a letter to Bok last week that HRE should "abandon" its attempts to make money from the faculty housing, and instead continue to subsidize the development...
