What in the world happened to Harvard Law School?
Back when I was a Harvard PhD candidate and lived in a Graduate dorm, I ate meals with Harvard Law School students in Harkness Commons. There were no radical muslims, terrorists, or Nazis among them. Really!
Admissions for “diversity” strikes again! Phooey!
But a high school chum who wound up at Harvard Law, (legacy - dad was a full prof at the Med School), complained to me that all they were teaching him was how to be a Harvard Law professor.
I fled Cambridge in 1977 during a divorce, and have never even considered returning. Sister-in-law (from a later marriage) is still there, but we can't hold anything like a political conversation. Her levels of misinformation are breathtaking. They won't listen to anything but NPR, read anything but the NYT and the Globe, and their TVs are welded to WGBH.
Harvard has long abandoned academic standards for “diversity”. I worked with a man who went to Harvard and came out just as stupid as when he went in. But he filled an admission slot. The Asian students are 100% correct. Basing admissions on non-academic standards discriminates against them. We need the finest students being taught to the best standards, not something that pleases big-mouthed, no brain politicians.
