Well the content of your post changed after I replied to it already, makes all the difference.
No, it didn't.

You start a thread with the premise that Harvard has this "new" type of diversity
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.
quote:
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?
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.

Yes it did. If you're goal wasn't to change the content, why make the edit? Hmmm....

The first paragraph of the OP:
quote:
The NYT has been on a 2 week long kick about a new form of diversity at elite colleges. Not race, not gender... Poverty. There aren't enough poor people admitted to Harvard.
Again, maybe if we had a link, it would be a little more clear. But you are ashamed, I get it.

You should probably get out more then.
quote:

You're right, I don't read print papers everyday. Mainly because its 2014 and I'm not 75.

Good night.
Finally. I suggested a nap a long time ago when it was clear your synapses weren't firing optimally in this thread. Rest easy, my friend.

AKA you're tired of looking silly, and hope a new day will change things. Probably not. Good luck with that, though

Hey Zach,
I work in higher ed. Actually finishing my doctorate in higher ed admin. And while I have no desire to work in the circles that are the Ivy League institutions, I am very familiar with this need-based aid formula.
I am advising a friend of a friend. The mother barely made it through high school. The daughter is a high school senior with a 175 PSAT (no where close to National Merit honors), but she has a 4.0, will be valedictorian of her class, and made a 32 on the ACT.
The single mom works a couple of low-end jobs just to keep food on the table. She is the perfect candidate for this. She's been denied admission at two Ivies, and I personally paid for her application to Brown, hoping that the lower of the eight would give her a look.
She's a "rural val," which usually the Ivies east up, but she is white. Rhodes looks like a good option, but I'm afraid they aren't going to give her the full ride she needs. If she doesn't get a full ride, she's going to probably be at a junior college. Her mother can't afford a third $75 application fee, so any expense at a state school or otherwise is going to be tough.
But I'm beginning to think the poverty thing is just code word for "We need more Hispanics and African Americans." After the Supreme Court ruling at Michigan - I think folks are gun shy about coming out and saying it.
