100% except for one minor correction - Harvard is a brand for prestige. Wealth is just one factor. They will continue to admit student cohorts that will maximize that prestige. That will include wealthy alumni, athletes, smart kids, and minorities.
The impact of these schools on the education and social outcomes of disadvantaged groups in this country is miniscule. I'm speaking as someone who went to an Ivy. If the US really wants to change outcomes for minorities, it needs to start at childcare and K-12. If the Supreme Court REALLY wanted to change shit up, it would limit public school districts to state level funding sources only and give vouchers to everyone.
