Well, they pretend to care a great deal for certain groups of people, but numbers like this show who they actually care for. It’s the duplicity that bothers me

Well, they pretend to care a great deal for certain groups of people, but numbers like this show who they actually care for. It’s the duplicity that bothers me personally. If they’d just be honest I’d have more respect for them.
- kbenson 3y agoI'd be more interested in what the numbers look like after they've accounted for admissions I would call "extra-academic". If they want to reserve 50% of their admissions for specific reasons, I'm fine with that. If the other 50% don't appear to be inline with their stated goals, then to me that's cause for concern. Expecting Harvard to forego legacy and faculty admissions and scholarships to students that maybe wouldn't get in otherwise is expecting Harvard to not be Harvard, which may be expecting too much.
