Harvard is looking for a new manager for its endowment, the largest of any university. And based on results announced on Thursday, there will be plenty of room for improvement.
The university reported an overall loss of 2 percent on its investments for the year ended on June 30, bringing their value to $35.7 billion.

But the unraveling stretches further back, to a time when ITT was a Wall Street darling, raking in record profits.
