This is a terribly unnuanced take and does not put into context any of the numbers. Harvard is ~50% white, 43% of which has some status that grants them preference. Further, 25% of that group would have gotten in anyways, according to the article. That means this preference group applies to... ~16% of the overall student body. Whether legacy/athlete/donor preference should be given is a conversation that can be had, but this article is just pathetic. Also, to come to the conclusion that "Turns out, Harvard students aren’t that smart after all" is disrespectful. I understand the issue is that they're taking spots away from more deserving candidates, but I'd posit the majority of that 75% that wouldn't get in are at least above average intelligence. Not getting into Harvard does not mean you aren't smart.
