This seems to be against the purported goal of diversity. It also doesn't address the elephant in the room - Asian students are outperforming other students. Do we know why? My guess is that it's cultural. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The Promise: "Come to our country, where everyone is treated equally and we will make a great multicultural society where we can all live together and learn and experience each other's culture"
The Outcome: Asian parents, generally, raise their kids to value hard work and academic excellence. Asian students end up taking this advice and generally outperform their peers from other communities.
Harvard's Solution: "Your culture is giving you an unfair advantage because other kids are not raised this way. Your culture should be more like everyone else's culture"
Is this diversity? Or are you eventually going to homogenize everything via this method? Is the end goal of diversity to become the Borg?
