Sen. Elizabeth Warren supports removing the Sackler name from all Harvard buildings and museums, a campaign aide told CNN, on the heels of the senator's release of an opioid epidemic plan in which she excoriated the family behind Purdue Pharma
Activists and others have called on the removal of the name from Harvard's museum collection of Asian, Middle Eastern and Mediterranean art -- which is named after Arthur M. Sackler -- as well as other properties bearing the name. The Sackler family has donated significant funds to Harvard. Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin, has been accused of knowingly exacerbating the opioid addiction crisis.
A spokesperson for the Sackler family said Warren's position would serve"no proper political purpose" and defended Purdue Pharma as"the industry leader in combatting opioid abuse while providing products essential for the treatment of serious chronic pain."Warren had also taken another move earlier in the day to distance herself from the family.Her 2018 Senate re-election campaign received thousands of dollars from members of the Sackler family.
