Harvard Contracts Require Nonwhite Hiring On Major Projects
Harvard University awarded two $5 million contracts for Gutman Library and Music Building expansion, mandating roughly 26 percent nonwhite hires at peak 283 workers. Clifford L Alexander Jr. called the target in line with Cambridge Boston area demographics. Jackson Construction Co. won both bids though not the lowest bidder. Black Unity criticized the policy as not a formal statement, noting the scope covers only a fraction of the university's planned $60 million in construction.
