> Also, the suppression of the president of Harvard by outside forces seems new?
Yeah, many are disappointed that it needed outside force. They are less likely to apply to Harvard now compared to then. That definitely contributes.

- ergocoder 2y agoBack to my original comment, I don't think it is feasible to prove causation. Intuitively, I don't think there are new people who start liking Harvard because of this fiasco. Most people already like Harvard. However, people who stop liking Harvard are probably plenties due to different views. > that it's a commonplace point of view You can look at comments on Hacker news, Reddit, and twitter. Emphasis on "many". I didn't claim "majority". I know what you were trying to get at, so it seems like a good thing to clarify.
