So what does that have to do with content?
Well the content of your post changed after I replied to it already, makes all the difference.

You're getting your arse whipped on this thread. Please continue.
You start a thread with the premise that Harvard has this "new" type of diversity, which has been documented extensively for 2 weeks in the NYT.......yet refuse to link a single NYT article discussing this "new" diversity, and I'm getting my arse whipped? Are you that ashamed of your source, Zach?

No, it didn't.

No, I didn't. Read it again. It's a NYT issue and I used Harvard as an EXAMPLE. So as to make it simple for people like you who aren't too bright.

All of my sources are the NYT. I'm sorry if you don't read actual newspapers. And now that you are just repeating yourself instead of responding to logic you are getting very boring.
Good night. I'll log on tomorrow morning to continue with your punishment.

Good morning, Grind.
1. Just because I log off at 5 pm I'm not going to bed. Cooking dinner, watching Judge Judy Tivos with the wife, playing with the dogs and then off to bed at 7.
2. I've thought of a way I can explain why this is not 'need based' as is stuck in your brain. So, pay attention to this illustration:
Let's compare needs based with aff action for blacks. First: Aff action: The College, Wassammata U. requires a 32 on the ACT for admission. With this requirement they end up with 99% white and Asian and 1% black. That's not diversity. So, they lower the requirement for blacks down to 26. This is aff action.
Now, let's look at traditional needs based. They require 32. John and Mary both have 32. John is rich. Mary is poor. John is admitted but must pay. Mary is admitted and gets a needs based scholarship. There is NO lowering of the ACT requirement.
Now, the new Poverty idea. Requirement is 32. Any poor person with a 32 gets a full needs based scholarship. This results in the school being 99% rich and 1% poor because the poor people don't make 32. So, the new diversity program lowers the requirement for the poor down to 26.
It replaces 'black' with 'poor.'
If you still don't understand I can't help you.
