If this problem were at Harvard, and Harvard only? It would be "a Harvard problem."
This is a problem with power, white men (in power), and money. The venn diagram is very nearly a circle, but this circle exists in many places. It isn't "a Harvard problem."

I make a Butternut Squash Bisque every year:
Butternut Squash, 3 lb, halved & de-seeded. Roast for 60-90 mins @ 350. (this can be done the day before). Peel the skin off then, and roughly cut up squash.
Then: Melt half stick Butter. Add 3 Leeks (white part), chopped. Stir for 2 min.
