At some point, after pissing in the educational pool for decades in the name of social justice, your pool becomes loaded with filth.
Harvard and these other institutes of “higher” learning could burn to the ground tomorrow, and I wouldn’t shed a single tear.
“Hoxby says some college administers had confided to her that they had reluctantly come to the conclusion that the pool of low-income students with top academic credentials was just limited, and there wasn’t much they could do to change that.
But in an analysis published with Christopher Avery in December, Hoxby has shown that this conclusion isn’t true...”
BS. It is true. Trust me... if you have a good ACT scores, they’ll find you. The “pool” they’re looking at IS limited.
The truth is they are looking for low income kids, but not white ones.
Minorities, diversity, anything but white.
Harvard paid Paleface Lizzy Warren over $300,000 to teach one class.
Harvard - They’ve got more money than brains.
Several of my daughter’s classmates applied to Harvard and other schools, and were accepted with full scholarships - they just couldn’t afford the more than $10,000 the university demanded to pay for their university mandated health insurance, and instead took full offers from other institutions.
Going to an elite college means nothing anymore.
Most low-income cultures do not value the character traits necessary. It's a sad truth, but it can't be avoided by wishing it away.

Bring ‘em in and flunk ‘em out. Most the time, they are poor because their parents are stupid. Sometimes you’ll find a kid whose parents are just lazy or unmotivated but smart. But most of the time, it’s not the case.
What is the purpose of “a higher education”?
Affirmative Action and quotas still exist in those universities and if they can't find the students to fill those automatic spots then it's because they don't exist.
I have a nephew who was a brilliant academic in a private school in Detroit, was named to the all state hockey team as a defenseman following his school's hockey state championship. His academics allowed him to go anywhere.
Because of his hockey skills, he was recruited by all the ivy league schools including Harvard. But because he wanted to play hockey and they couldn't guarantee him a starting position, he instead chose a small college in Boston called Williams College. There, he played all the hockey he wanted, had a great time and got a great education where he placed in the top 10 in his class.
Here's where I'm going with this. His academics pretty much guaranteed him entrance into a medical school program anywhere in this country but instead, he wanted to come back to Michigan and attend the University of Michican Medical School.
When he applied, U of M basically said thanks but no thanks because while he had the grades, they had to fill the quotas first. The quotas of course being minorities and students on foreign visas. U of M did go on to say that they would accept him the following years.
So he made a choice, rather than go to another university, he went to Europe and played semi-pro hockey for a year. While there, he played with guys from every European country, worked part time jobs with these guys and traveled extensively to their home countries and had a ball.
When spring time came, he was offered a pro contract with a professional team there and seriously considered accepting it but after calling home, his family convinced him to return and enter U of M's medical school and the rest is history.
As a side note, following U of M, he went on to the University of Pittsburgh to study surgery and ultimately received a fellowship to Harvard to study Thorasic Surgery which he completed about 4 yars ago prior to returning back to Michigan where he practices in a local hospital.......
Surely Harvard and the rest can fill their ranks with the offspring of the shallow gene pool elites.
