There is a reason you don’t let inmates run your asylum, allow your toddler to eat candy for dinner or tell the Labrador retriever sitting behind the wheel of your car, “OK, Duke, I guess you drive.” Those who are, mentally speaking, a few slices short of a loaf don’t get to make grown-up-people decisions. This brings me to Harvard undergraduates.
In the softest and most spoiled generation of humanity ever to exist (they feel threatened by Halloween costumes and the existence of Ben Shapiro; their forebears endured World War II and Vietnam and even riding bikes without helmets), the softest and most spoiled corner must be the Harvard student body, those little princelings and princesslings who have more expectations about how the world should accommodate their whims than Louis XIV. Last week, a handful of these toddler-brained undergrads got a distinguished Harvard dean fired for doing his job.
That dean, Ronald Sullivan, holds an outside job. He is something called a “lawyer.” Lawyers, as everyone but screaming Harvard kids knows, are a vital element of the justice system. In Professor Sullivan’s case, he is a defense lawyer, meaning he defends people who will sometimes turn out to be guilty. Sullivan’s past clients include the family of Michael Brown, on whose behalf he brought suit against Ferguson, Mo.; and Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots tight end who committed suicide in 2017 while serving a life sentence for murder.
No one at Harvard batted an eye to learn that Sullivan has represented an actual murderer. But they lost their minds when Sullivan was hired by Harvey Weinstein. Harvard capitulated to a small band of protesters and announced that Sullivan and his wife, Stephanie Robinson, would no longer serve as faculty deans of Winthrop House, one of Harvard’s residential units.

A college name is now no guarantee that the degree is worth more than one coming from a box top order.
Degrees in any “studies” from any college are worthless.
Period.
Degrees in lib arts from most colleges are worthless.
Period.
Do not think that businesses are not aware of this.
Pretty soon, the diversity clown committee will start insisting that all department of every company must display appropriate diversity.
Then we’ll all have the pleasure of virtually every product having the quality and durability of a Yugo.
And Nobel Prizes being awarded for producing a one page paper containing fewer than fifteen spelling errors. Oh, forgot about the “peace prize”.
A great stand on principle, yet I love and encourage the Left to eat itself, they are evil.
Starts in our pubic schools.
The students, family, and taxpayers pay big bucks to this school.
THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT!
Do not mess with the recurring revenue stream.
People who are too stupid to find out what stupidity exists in Harvard are welcome to attend.
Do these names sound like Americans or foreigners? Who are these people? Why are they allowed to influence? What does this say about the future?
Harvard Law made obama president of the Harvard Review because he’s black and got an islamic name.
The faculty suspended student voting that year and let the faculty select the president. obama had done nothing for the Review to deserve the title.
Harvard is now nothing more than politically correct garbage.
So if we can somehow meme for the next twenty years people killing themselves when there is stock market downturn, they will take matters into their own hands.... It won’t take much. They are being programmed to be surfs and cannon fodder.
I am an English major who went to medical school.
You are correct, in a sense, that liberal arts degrees are “worthless”. They have no market value.
However, some liberal arts majors, if they study the classics, become better and more useful people, and in that sense, those degrees are valuable.
In this day and age, though, there are many avenues for self-improvement that do not involve the traditional baccalaureate pathway, and the pricetag, of course, has become completely unjustifiable.
Can you imagine the muddle of unmitigated chaos that is the “brain” of a Harvard administrator?
about the Harvard Law Review
https://harvardlawreview.org/about/
Membership
Membership in the Harvard Law Review is limited to second- and third-year law students who are selected after an annual writing competition. The Review strongly encourages all students to participate in the writing competition. Harvard Law School students who are interested in joining the Review must write the competition at the end of their first year, even if they plan to take time off during law school or are pursuing a joint degree and plan to spend time at another graduate school.
Forty-eight second-year students are invited to join the Review each year. Twenty editors are selected based solely on their competition scores. Seven editors, one from each 1L section, shall be selected based on an equally weighted combination of competition scores and 1L grades. Three editors shall be selected based on an equally weighted combination of competition scores and 1L grades, without regard to section. Eighteen editors shall be selected through a holistic but anonymous review that takes into account all available information. The Review remains strongly committed to a diverse and inclusive membership.
Applicants who wish to make aspects of their identity available through the Law Review’s holistic consideration process will have the opportunity to indicate their racial or ethnic identity, physical disability status, gender identity, sexual orientation, and socioeconomic status. Applicants also have the option of submitting an expository statement of no more than 150 words that identifies and describes aspects of their background not fully captured by the categories provided on the form. Statements will be considered by the Selection Committee only after grading of the competition has been completed. Statements will remain anonymous and will not be evaluated for quality of writing or editing, nor will they be assigned a numerical score. Applicants are welcome to draft their expository statements before the competition week begins, and the prompt for the 150 word statement is as follows: “You may use the space below to submit a typed expository statement of no more than 150 words that identifies and describes aspects of your identity not fully captured by the categories on the previous page, including but not limited to racial or ethnic identity, socioeconomic background, disability, gender identity, and/or sexual orientation.”
The Law Review expects to invite editors to join Volume 134 over the course of several days during the second half of July. Orientation for new editors will begin in late July or early August. This timeline is subject to change and updates will be posted to this website when available.

ITS A BUSINESS AND THEY ARE SELLING SH## AT A HIGH COST
It was John Adams.who defended the British soldiers who fired on the colonist during the Boston Massacre. He was able to successfully defend them even though it was unpopular to do. He did this because of his belief that everyone had the right to counsel.
You left out "drinking from the hose in the backyard."
But now what we consider to be the classics is now “white cisheteropatriarchy”.
Do they still have a degree in Medieval Plumbing?
Wasn’t Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz on OJ’s defense team?
Didn’t these same students vote for Bill Clinton’s former paramour, who famously represented a rapist?
