A school known for elitism helps those who are known for elitism?
Le shock!
This is why Harvard and other Ivy League schools wanted to preserve affirmative action programs. Those exist to make the school look better while like a quarter to a third of their students are legacies.
That’s the real affirmative action. If you’re the child of an alumni, you’re like 10x more likely to get in compared to a non-legacy applicant.
Amazing that an institution so outwardly obsessed with meritocracy has such an aversion to it in reality.
No surprise. It’s just part of perpetuating the lie
Just a smaller version of the US overall.
It’s a 1000 times easier to say it and not do it. And that’s basically where we’re at in the world of organizational integrity across the world.
"But how will we survive when our entire business model is built on nepotism?’
Their $50.7 billion endowment fund that distributed $2.2 billion this year will probably help them survive.
And Harvard is going to point at that Supreme Court decision and say, “we’re within our rights to do this”
Affirmative action for the rich.
