They could compile this into a “Liberal Cliche Handbook” and sell it to offset their legal costs. I think every pro-diversity platitude ever spouted is in there somewhere.

After World War 2 thanks to the GI Bill there were quite a few vets at Harvard. A couple of them were minus a limb. Imagine that at Fair Harvard today. The flakes would stampede for a ‘safe space’.

IIRC, Harvard does not require SATs.

I'm guessing that for all practical purposes, it's only for the AA types/slots.

Applicants may include SAT scores.

I'll further guess that the school wants said applicants' scores only if they don't negatively impact the average SAT score that the school publishes.

“in seeking to achieve a diverse student body, race may enter the process as one factor among many in consideration.”

Isn’t this a blatant admission that they use race to discriminate?

If Robert Gould Shaw, Harvard grad and hero in the American Civil War, were still around, Shaw would lead a regiment to burn down Harvard’s admissions building.

EVERYONE'S backgrounds, interests, experiences, and expectations are unique. You don't have to achieve diversity. What a bunch of morons!

“The president of Harvard sent this email to alumni, because a lawsuit accusing Harvard of discriminating against Asian students is coming to trial. “
____________________________________________

You are correct, reaganaut1. Harvard has always discriminated and Asians are just the latest group.

"I respect the diversity of opinion that this case may generate."

Bacow, perhaps inadvertently, acknowledges that EVERYONE is unique and any group of people is inherently diverse.

"The College’s admissions process does not discriminate against anybody."

Keep in mind, that this is the president........of Harvard .......in his own words. Re-read the statement, then my comment below.










So everyone that applies gets in?

Correct. For every affirmative action admission, hire or promotion, a probably better qualified person is racially profiled and denied admission, employment or a promotion. The emotional, psychological and financial damage to this affirmative action survivor is not known or evaluated.

These schools think diversity is where students look different but think alike.

Dear Larry,

Asians disagree.

It’s simple, every university or college in America has communist leadership!
