...would seem strange to push Harvard to follow the lead of a for-profit corporation like GSK. The influence of pharmaceutical companies at universities is a controversial topic. We are often rightly cautioned that becoming too closely tied with industry may lead us to lose sight of our public interest mission.

There are signs that some borrowers, for example, are trying to turn a quick profit by capitalizing on differentials in interest rates.
