I’d prefer an error free administration. But since that seems unlikely, I’ll settle for one that at least owns it’s mistakes.

Unlike the previous one, you know?

Truth is, I like Bondi but think she has been sloppy at times.

The list of demands went way overboard. A good bit of them were legal and necessary. Harvard deserves sanctions for all the anti Semitic crap it allowed. However, the administration was demanding to micromanage areas of the school that had nothing to do with civil rights.

Members of the administration allegedly did so (sources?).

Nonetheless, I agree with you in that whomever put forth that letter overstepped their scope of authority.

the real story - HArvard does not want to give a complete list of foreign donors

Why does Harvard have substantial foreign donors I wonder? probably just out of the goodness of their hearts

Harvard is a sinking ship according to some guest on Fox.

I agree wholeheartedly. Also no private university should expect taxpayer funding regardless of curriculum and/or gargantuan endowment. Ditto for tax exemption. Yet here we are.

Me too. However, race and sex are protected classes. Democrats are advocating removing protected classes. It is so bizarre.

Its posts like this that remind me how much of an out-of-touch, echo chamber this board is

No one wins when the government censors anyone. I guess except for MAGA? “I voted for this” people.

I'd be careful placing faith in those stats as anything other than a random selection premise. The lottery boasts far lower odds with far lower qualifications.

At one time Harvard acceptance rates probably meant much more in terms of applicant quality. But even when you entered the pool, that was changing. Now a mediocre student like David Hogg, who couldn't even gain admittance into public universities out of HS, gets accepted to Harvard the following year over applicants with your undergrad applicant qualifications which is an effing travesty.

Harvard "progress" in this arena is kind of like the surviving Challenger crew members commenting (just before impact) on how far they'd "come" in the minutes since the initial o-ring explosion near the boundary to space, and as they descended. Harvard's come a similarly long way.
