When I was his age I was just watching Saved By The BeIl reruns. I went to LSU though.

He still got in contact (along with other students) with these interest groups to even get the ball rolling in the first place. No ones saying he financed everything.

Does Harvard accept anyone on merit anymore? Is everyone now just a social/political or legacy choice?


A lot of legacy students at Ivy League colleges.

There’s plenty of conservative professors in the ivy leagues, that’s areally stupid thing to say. Who do you think are the mentors of people like your Kavanaughs or Scalias who point them to the right judges; and fellows of institutions like the Federalist society and the heritage foundation

So conservatives dont get into Harvard?


Next time just say-"yes I agree" and save us the obstinacy.

And for the record, Incoming freshmen are more likely to be LGBT than conservative.

He insinuated there were none. That’s not my argument.

You're argument is that there are plenty, is 1:12 plenty? In the social sciences it's closer to 1:18.

My sister has lived in DC for the past 20 years. She is surrounded by people who went to Ivy League schools that make way less money than her. They’re not smart. After you meet a few, you realize that getting into an Ivy doesn’t really mean that much.

Your link doesn’t work but I doubt that’s the ratio at the very top

EDIT: the article you linked cites professors over 65 and one of the liberal arts disciplines it mentions is Gender Studies. No shite.

The ball was already rolling, they just needed a few students to be its face.

I fixed it.

The first sentence is perfect too. Any casual observer knows this.

Some 96 percent of faculty and staffers at the eight Ivy League universities who donated wrote their checks to Obama

According to the report, the faculty of Yale University is overwhelmingly on the left. Nearly 75 percent of the faculty described themselves as “liberal” or “very liberal.” A shockingly low seven percent described themselves as “conservative.” Only two percent of respondents considered themselves “very conservative.


I could post 100 studies, polls, articles etc. Just stop. Or educate yourself. One or the other.

I mean anybody can get a certificate from Harvard business school by taking an online course. I just read somebody linked showing this, not sure why you post it.. Than today I read in the wsj about online law school. Somebody paid like 55000 for some credit course at Washington university but still looking for a legal job that is a good racket for the school but will bk people. Actually, you can’t bk student debt so go figure

Are you kidding? Harvard will do everything they can to put him on a pedestal and celebrate him at every turn.

They aren't an institution of learning anymore, they are a political machine.

Agree. He is a useful idiot that was granted a lot of face time by MSM. Then prog heros, laden with cash, did all the organizational work. All he had to do was show up...and gets into Harvard. BFD.
