I find it shocking because Harvard is normally a down to earth common folk organization rather than a hoity toity high brow group pushing their social agenda.

Isn't arguing that Harvard is making acceptance decisions based on racial quotas by pointing out "the majority of students accepted into the incoming freshman class are not white" a demand for a racial quota of white students?


No.

First of all, I'm not arguing that they're doing that. I'm pointing it out based on articles in the Boston Globe.
And Harvard is admitting to it, so it's not an argument at all.

And I'm not saying it's wrong. Or right.

I just wanted to point out that a liberal bastion was engaging in open prejudice.
Further discussion can revolve around whether this is good or bad. But whether or not it's racist has already been determined.

... racism or prejudice?

Why do you assume that taking racial and non racial backgrounds into account immediately jumps to racism or prejudice? Their argument is they want a diverse student body, not that any one group is superior or inferior or has any traits they desire or want to avoid.

You are correct, sir.
I should have said bias or preference, not prejudice.

...the title of this thread has a tone that implies you have a problem with Harvard's admissions decisions...me too...but your title would be more accurate if it had said "But not you tight eyes"...

Question:
If Asians are being excluded, and there are a reduction of whites, then who the hell is being admitted?

I looked at the breakdown...and foreign/international students comprise 12.4% of the incoming class. Then Harvard intentionally mucks up the numbers by doing a demographic composite based on race without separating out the foreign students...so it's hard to tell who is getting the shaft...it's possible white people ARE under-represented if all the foreigners are European whites...the number of Asians admitted is higher than their numbers in the US, but it is not stated how many Asians are foreign/int'l ...

BTW: 22.1% of ALL Harvard students are foreign/international students...


Was Harvard ever an all-white school?

Yes.
Until they started hiring Native American Indians as professors.

I must be gonna get a Harvard invite,because in all the reports I've read,Tommy didn't deflate anything.The Well's report clearly states that Brady's crime was that he was "generally aware that the balls had been deflated" Think horse

Well,I do believe that some people believe........I saw parts of the Al Gore video and felt bad for the poor polar bears floating away on the ice floe............until I saw some outtakes and from a different angle you could see the ice floe was only six feet from the solid ground the film crew was standing ond'oh!

Let's face it though - Harvard is not where the smart people go to school. It is for the privileged and the monied. I worked with a guy from MIT. He was from a wealthy family and everyone figured he must be a super genius. He was not. In fact he was a prick with entitlement issues. But - He went to MIT......

It's a crock.

Although the privileged DO go to Harvard, you are otherwise WAY off base.
I know several current students and 2 new ones (this fall) that earned their way into Harvard academically.

One of my nephews might attend in 2019, but that's a football thing. He's smaht AND big.

As for MIT?
Those are ALL brainiacs. You can be as dumb as Kennedy at Harvard, but not at MIT.
Of course, book smarts don't always translate. And that may be what you've witnessed.
But that school isn't holding anyone's hand, that's for sure.

Come on tail – don’t you know rage at the machine when you read it?

And another thing – How the hell are football scholarships supposed to work? Kids who can’t win an education on academic merit get one because they are good at busting their coconuts together for entertainment and profit?

College doesn’t make you smart. And in many cases it doesn’t even make you competent. All too often it is used as some elitist crap for those that could buy their way in.

You know what else in wrong with this effed up country? Peanut butter. That **** causes every known disease. Go find someone’s sick or dying and ask them if they ever ate peanut butter.
Yup – there goes another one….
