Hey no one look at the corruption of the legacy admissions. Everyone get distracted with the shiny object.
Fuck Harvard
Taxpayer funded playground for rich kids to "network" encouraging a good ole boys system
Only good thing about Harvard is David Malan, the fucken GOAT
Partially true. I know a non-legacy, non-rich, Asian person that went there. Of course, he was incredibly smart and involved in many extra-circular activities in high school.
I cannot fathom that universities no longer can consider color/race/ethnic - but they can totally let rich alumni's kids in no prob.
fuck all legacy bullshit.
I guarantee you that this is next on the chopping block, but it won't be caused by conservatives.
I don't know, Harvard is kind of the epitome of the 'liberal elite'...
A place like Harvard is ultra conservative. Remember that Harvard donors are trying to out activists so that they can be blacklisted for life. Because you can’t support Palestine and study at Harvard.
I am sure they will find a way to still discriminate against Asians. It is kinda cool that Harvard considers you Asian if you have partial Asian ancestry. 21st century one drop rule.
I'm not trying to make it sound like I'm NOT saying fuck Harvard, but I just looked at their financials for '23 and they're actually not taxpayer funded, except for research funding.
They are a non-profit which means they aren't paying taxes. There is zero practical difference between the government giving you money and the government not taxing you. Either way you get more and the state gets less. And that is just Harvard by itself, that doesn't include all the tax breaks people get for donating to them so their spoiled brat can get a spot. Basically the taxpayer is subsidizing bribes.
This of course ignores that they openly defied the government when they were asked to clear the whole AA mess up. All it would have taken was them to just show their entrance criteria and put the issue to rest.
