"You rapscallions have bested me this time, but hear this: when your good old union fails, you'll come crawling back to my arms, and I'll remember where your loyalties lay."
– Alan M. Garber, Provost of Harvard University
"Sure."
– Garrett Young, voted for unionization
"Let me just say this. For some time now, we have seen the corporatization of the American university, and Harvard is no different. The millionaires and billionaires are laughing all the way to the bank as the young people of this country are saddled with more and more debt. Do we think this is a sustainable status quo? The short answer is no. And the only solution is for all of us to start a political revolution against the establishment, and the established way of thinking about these problems!"
– Senator Bernie Sanders, unprompted
“Wait, what happened?”

"I once saw a professor I was working for shoot a squirrel out of a tree in the yard from 100 feet with only a slingshot. He was a small little critter, too, and he got him right in that little space in between those beady rodent eyes. It was damn impressive. Sucker fell straight to the ground like one of them paper airplanes made by my little cousin Jeff, who's just three if I'm recalling it right. Anyway, we got around to the body, and my professor picked up the corpse, gave it a look or two. Then he stared me dead in the eyes and said 'Those damn capitalists have it coming if they win,' and just keps staring at me for about a minute or so while mouthing the word 'unionize' silently. I'm not entirely sure what he meant, but I reckon this professor is one we shouldn't make angry. So, yeah, I'd say I'm pretty happy with the results."
– Cornwall Farmer, graduate student
"To your union / And the hope that you provide / May you always / be satisfied"
– Angela Park '21, HRDC member and self-described Lin-Manuel Miranda enthusiast
"Doesn't matter much to me, I just can't wait to get out of this place."
– Will Kirkpatrick '18, just tryna graduate
"I don't know too much about it, but..."
– Most Harvard undergraduates
