Themselves, largely.
I speak from experience.
I didn’t attend Ivy League schools but I did attend a private college and a private law school. I had no conservative professors at either. None. You have to carefully navigate the environment to your advantage.

Bingo this tells you everything you need to know about the agenda of ivy league schools.

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.
I’ll share a little story.
I went to Emory Law School. My gf at the time went to Samford in Birmingham. After graduation, we were living together in Atlanta and studying for the bar. We were at the law school every day studying and attending bar bri. When we would take breaks, we would walk around and I would show her the school and so forth.
We were up on the top floor one day where all faculty have their offices. Posted outside doors were the lists of grades for each class of the last semester. Every one had roughly the same mix: out of say 50 students, there would be about 20 As, about 25 Bs, and about 5 Cs.
My gf was outraged. Her classes at Samford typically consisted of say 60 students and 5 As, 10 Bs, 40 Cs, and 5 Ds. Every one was getting a C; you had to kick the holy shite out of the exam to break out of a C. I have friends that went to Mercer and Mississippi College that say the same thing.
Getting into Emory was hard (I didn’t lead a movement to destroy the Bill of Rights nor did I have a legacy; I had to rely on grades and LSAT). Staying in Emory was easy. Doing well at Emory was relatively easy. I had a 3.5 GPA. She had a 2.8. She did better on the bar than I. I got the better job.

The value of a Harvard degree just dropped.

Harvard has grade inflation out the wazoo.
He will have about a 3.5 which is actually horrible

Before any of this happened:
I told myself I’d rusher hire someone from Pitt County Community College than Harvard.
Look at BHO for example. What did he accomplish besides taking this country backwards; racially, economically and foreign policy-wise?
You are better off letting ivy leaguers write poetry, curate museums and teaching other ivy leaguers at this time.

How much longer will it be before Hogg transitions in to a woman? Plenty of boxes left for him/her to check.

Didn’t U Fla reject this kid?

You are dumb for believing this. Dumb and utterly naive. He's nothing more than a puppet used by special intrest groups. He wasn't the source of initiative, he and his ilk are nothing but the ignorant faces behind and failed push by gun-control advocacy organizations.

Hogg got into Harvard with a 1270 SAT. The average SAT at Harvard is 1540. I'm thinking this is a little FU to Trump.

But not doing the work or getting the scores. Seems fair compared to someone who actually worked for it.

Dumb question, but how’s he paying for it? Is he going to be another one of these sad stories we hear about where he goes 300 grand in debt for a political science degree and then cries like a bitch because he can’t find a job and can’t pay back his student loans?

Harvard has tons of money, very few students get loans to attend, if they accept you, you will get financial aid, and what you pay is based on your families' ability to pay, socialism , go figure.
"Once you are admitted to Harvard, we work closely with your family to ensure you can afford to come here. Because we seek the best students regardless of their ability to pay, we are committed to meeting 100 percent of demonstrated financial need for all four years. International students receive exactly the same financial aid as Americans. In fact, approximately 70 percent of our students receive some form of aid, and about 60 percent receive need–based scholarships and pay an average of $12,000 per year. Twenty percent of parents pay nothing. No loans required."

Mark it down....he will graduate within 4 yrs or less with 'degree' from harvard
The fix is in...Harvard will degree him even if he doesn't make the grade
The democrats/special interest have Hogg marked to hold political office someday and need the 'Harvard' graduate label on him.
