Would love to see a concerted movement to arrange a boycott of Harvard by Asian students - having a graduating class without any Asian students would send a very a strong symbolic message.
- repsilat 8y agoIf they received substantially fewer Asian applicants they would probably adjust the thresholds to keep the balance how they want it. It would be nearly impossible for a boycott to be so effective they could not get a "Harvard-balanced" class, whatever that means. This lawsuit already sends a pretty strong symbolic message, though (in addition to whatever practical effect it might have.)
- raincom 8y agoIt won't happen. Imagine there are 3800 Asians, with perfect SAT, validictorians, excellence, etc. You can make 95% people boycott, the other Asian applicants will apply even if they sign to the pledge. It is better for professors of Asian descent to leave, and not join, Harvard. That will send a better message.
