Well, first of all...it seems to be that a large number of students who are accepted for admission to these schools have no qualifications other than family connections. The various Ivy League schools “admit” to 25-33%.
Then, let’s add the “diversity” admissions...guessing that’s probably about the same?
So, given that there might be a little overlap (with a few of the students in the above categories actually being qualified); we might be looking at half of the student body being actually “smart.”
Further, let’s consider that the intelligent students are actually there to learn things. They will set upon a path leading to medical & scientific advancements...and most of us will never hear of their brilliant work.
Meanwhile, the other half (the idiots) are protesting & will be running things at the high levels of academia & politics for years to come.
Good Lord.
What is it?
Being an enemy of America is the only qualification needed to be a visiting fellow at Harvard.
Perceived honor? They don’t even belueve their own award of a visiting fellow is an honor?
That disgusting thing should be covered up with 6ft of dirt for what he did.
All leftist colleges, harvard included, are nothing more than indoctrination centers.
We need to move away from the brick and mortar colleges and more toward online classes that count and are just as accredited as the Ivy league schools of today so these marxist instructors don’t have direct access to the students and the classes can be monitored by anyone and reported if they start indoctrinating instead of teaching like they do now.
When the choice is between political correctness and blowing off millions per year in secret intelligence community grants—close call....bet they had quite a debate about it.
Social justice warrior or corruption—choices, choices...
How does a person become the dean of the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard? Write an essay (Like they did during a CEO search for “Ben & Jerry’s Icecream”)? Does the Kennedy-family get involved in interviewing the candidates like in the recent “Miss America” pageant? Imagine the questions!
Just looked up the founding of the Kennedy School of Government. Founded in 1936 by a $2 million dollar donation by Lucius Littauer and named the “Graduate School of Public Administration”. Renamed in 1966. It would appear that the “Kennedy School” really has little-to-no involvement with the Kennedy’s other other than the name. No more so than any other public school bearing the name.
Makes sense.
Manning is not exactly a fellow anymore...
Here I thought Harvard was going to be able to offer degrees in Traitors Across America. Or Queers on the Run
The real reason they declined the offer was because Manning was insulted when they said “fellow”.
Isn’t the “Fellow” part transphobic or something? They really need to get up to speed and change it to Visiting Unit or the like...
