Harvard is really no different than OU, UT, and OSU...

They all take Federal monies...in one way or another.

I am a bit confused though....On one hand you say Harvard can do what they want, as they are "private"....on the other you "guarantee"..that if Harvard "discriminated against blacks and Hispanics, that they would be cut off the Federal Gravy Train."

Can you shed some light?

If you take federal money, you must bow to the federal rules.

Harvard could do what it wants because it doesn’t need those federal dollars, but that wouldn’t be at all politically correct, would it.

After Lawrence Summers gave that commencement address, saying that women had not made many real contributions to science and mathematics, the women at Harvard went nuts, fired Summers, and re-wrote a whole lot of the curriculum to favor women, feminizing the sciences by making it relate more to every day life and the environment. In other words, they dumbed down the science courses in order to feminize them.

You caught a minor error in my analysis. I said Harvard can do what they like but I was assuming that what they like is to discriminate against whites and Asians. That's what they are doing and it doesn't hurt them in the least with the Federal Money. But if they discriminated against blacks and Hispanics they would be cut off at the knees. So you are correct. The double standard applies. The Federal Government would never cut off money from Harvard (or any private school) if they discriminate against whites. That's simply the way it works now. Discrimination against whites and Asians is permitted, encouraged, and committed by the Federal Government.
