Harvard University political money — 2012 cycle

Why Harvard University and 2012 share a page

This page exists because two FEC dimensions meet: employer/industry grouping Harvard University and even-year election cycle 2012. $920,317 is the intersection. $12,178,102 is the grouping’s harvested all-cycle total before the year filter. 1,124 is the 2012 line count. The 2012 donor count is 358 donors. LobbyVault does not convert those integers into a motive, a lobbying total, or a USAspending award.

Open the Harvard University 2012 cycle hub for the live overlay of this cut, the Harvard University industry hub for the parent grouping, the 2012 election-cycle index for every industry in that year, and All FEC ties for sibling joins. Quote $920,317 when the sentence is about 2012. Quote $12,178,102 when the sentence is about the grouping across cycles. Do not add those two dollar figures; the first is already inside the second.

The 2012 slice for Harvard University

In 2012, receipts tagged Harvard University sum to $920,317 on 1,124 itemized lines from 358 donors. About $819 per receipt is $920,317 divided by 1,124. About $2,571 per harvested donor is $920,317 divided by 358. FEC even-year cycles run January 1 of the odd year through December 31 of the even year; 2012 names that two-year window, not a single November night.

Three hundred fifty-eight donors and 1,124 receipts is a broad 2012 slice for a university employer string, not a payroll of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences. Students, staff, affiliates, and people who simply typed the name can sit in the same bucket. Do not treat $920,317 as Harvard’s institutional PAC, and do not treat 358 as unique living alumni.

The Harvard University grouping beyond 2012

The parent grouping indexes $12,178,102 ($12.2 million rounded). 2012’s $920,317 is 7.6% of that parent. Other even-year cuts exist on other cycle hubs. This packet publishes one cycle integer for this page: $920,317. Do not invent a 2010 or 2014 total from these facts.

Employer strings are filer-entered. Harvard University captures whatever collapsed into this key in the harvest. Spelling variants, subsidiaries, and occupation words that look similar sit on other keys unless they matched. Independent expenditures by a committee that shares a brand with Harvard University are a different schedule and are not inside $920,317 or $12,178,102.

7.6% is $920,317 divided by $12,178,102. Rounding to $920,317 and $12.2 million does not create extra facts. Use exact integers in a table. Use the rounded forms only as headlines of those same integers.

Limits of an industry × cycle join

This join is not a claim that Harvard University bought an election in 2012. It is not a party split; this packet has none. It is not a unique-person census of a workforce. The harvest counts 358 donors in the 2012 slice, and one person can still appear across committees. It is not federal spending under USAspending.gov. Contributions do not fund awards on this page.

Unitemized federal gifts never enter $920,317. State-office campaigns never enter $920,317. Amendments can restate large transfers while most of the 1,124 small lines stay put. After quarterly filings, reread the Harvard University 2012 hub. If that hub and this snapshot disagree, FEC.gov controls.

Comparing Harvard University in 2012 to another industry requires that other industry’s cycle hub. This packet has one grouping and one cycle. A ranking of industries for 2012 is a different page — the 2012 election-cycle index — not a homemade sort of this file.

How to cite Harvard University in 2012

Citation template: employer/industry grouping Harvard University, election cycle 2012, $920,317 on 1,124 itemized individual contributions from 358 donors, which is 7.6% of the grouping’s harvested $12,178,102 all-cycle total. Source: FEC.gov individual contribution aggregates indexed on LobbyVault.

Then point to the Harvard University 2012 overlay, the Harvard University industry page, the 2012 election-cycle index, and All FEC ties. Keep $819 labeled as dollars divided by lines if you print a mean. Keep 358 donors labeled as harvested donors, not employees.

Keep the unit explicit. Harvard University is an employer/industry string. 2012 is an FEC two-year cycle. $920,317 is itemized individual contributions in that intersection. The harvested donor count is 358 donors. 1,124 is the line count. $12,178,102 is the parent grouping. None of those fields is a vote total.

Reading Harvard University next to the 2012 cycle index

The Harvard University 2012 overlay is the live table for this cut. The Harvard University industry page is the parent grouping at $12,178,102. The 2012 election-cycle index lists other employer strings in the same two-year window; it is not a license to add those strings to $920,317. All FEC ties holds sibling joins. Use all four links. None of them converts $920,317 into USAspending obligations.

A later bulk file can restate $920,317 without rewriting this paragraph. Treat the hubs as current and this JSON as a packet snapshot. Quote 2012 as an FEC even-year cycle, Harvard University as a filer-entered employer or occupation grouping, and 358 donors as a harvested donor count on 1,124 lines. That is the whole join: Harvard University × 2012 = $920,317.

Do not print a 2012 ‘share of US politics’ statistic from $920,317. The denominator for 7.6% is $12,178,102, the Harvard University grouping in this extract, not every itemized dollar on FEC.gov. A sentence that drops that denominator misstates the join.
