“Professors” like this need to be driven into the wilderness with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

“White students “stand in fear of being labeled a racist, “
—
Uh,uh!
A white can be called a racist for a simple criticism of a black person.
No one cares anymore.
It has no more power than calling someone a jerk.

What a pile of crap!
Isn’t the merit-based admission processes the supreme science of Darwin at work?
By natasha warikoo admitting the white student’s “intelligence advantage” she is disparaging students of color.
Within not too many years, institutions like Harvard will become superfluous, it will be easy for gifted young people to get everything they need from the internet, including community with other brilliant people.
The game will change against Harvard and other like institutions because they lose sight of what they’re really selling.
Another case of the wire thinking it’s a power plant.
When is the good professor going to give up her tenured position for some more deserving soul?
Inquiring minds want to know .....
IF this idiot professor had lived when Edison was around, she would be complaining that Edison is ‘putting candle makers & kerosene lamp makers out of business’.
I would never be able to put any kids of mine into a college today. It would be a punishment against my kid, and a waste of my hard earned money.
Have you ever noticed how many wacky ideas arise from schools of education? Think about new math for one.
This country would still be grinding corn by hand & harvesting wheat by hand in sheaves if it wasn’t for the ‘self interest’ of people like John Deere & Cyrus McCormick.
How & Why people such as this “professor’ can collect a payckeck is beyond me.
I wonder what her home looks like... I wonder what her retirement portfolio looks like... I'm sure there's no self interest there.. /s
What if she's correct? That is, she's in effect confirming the racial characteristics that were discussed in "The Bell Curve."
So, she's saying that Harvard's policy is against nature, but virtuous because it gives her the unnatural effect she wants (undeserved racial preferences).
This Harvard "professor" should be doing something else.
Her grasp of reality can't possibly be useful to educate (or indoctrinate) mentally and physically healthy future productive adults.
I do think some special consideration should be given to those students who come from poverty and adversity. It should not be granted solely on the basis of race though. A lot of the race based admissions benefit minorities who are upper middle class. They don’t need the help!
Most of the time when an article starts out “A college professor” you know it is Grade “A” BS.
Of course, they “stand in fear of being labeled a racist”
If they are labeled a racist their college career is over.
Why, those damn white people! How dare they not just shut up and accept their chances being hampered? The nerve.
