...In short, you have NO RIGHT to be treated equally outside of the government. You have no more “right” to be accepted to Harvard than you have the “right” to trespass on someone’s property.

I think the way this works is that Harvard accepts a lot of contracts from the Feds. Along with those contracts come clauses preventing discrimination in all things, great and small.

Harvard has a stark choice -- give up all government contracts or end discrimination. They are not going to give up the Federal sugar...

Harvard could easily give-up government contracts and go on discriminating if the wanted to. Their $40 billion endowment allows this.
