National Jurist - January 2008 - (Page 27) Where Harvard professors donate their money With the upcoming political season, professors and others are contributing to their candidates. Jeffrey Brauch, dean of Regent University, said he is confident that every current candidate for the presidency has supporters at his school — conservative and liberal. Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) received more than half of the political contributions made by Harvard professors and staff in the first quarter of 2007, according to federal disclosure data released in April. Obama raised $78,000, compared to Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.), who took in less than half of Obama’s Harvard total — raising over $33,000 from University affiliates. The other major recipient was former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, a Republican. Harvard employees donated over $150,000 to 2008 presidential candidates in the first quarter of 2007, according to federal election data available on the Web site of the New York Times.
