Stunning. If you are Black and in the 4th (!!) academic decile (below average!!), you have the same chance as an Asian in the 10th decile, and a better chance than a white student in the 9th decile. Unless you are an athlete or legacy, if you are Asian or white, you are kind of screwed. I am sure Harvard does not like this kind of data to make the world news, hence the shift in policy. The pandemic just provided a good excuse.
I do wonder what will happen to the quality of a Harvard education now that H is focusing more and more on social engineering. Will the top students group into certain majors? Or will classes be watered down to fit the social experiment? I already know H grades are meaningless. Will a H diploma be meaningless soon, too? (I am exaggerating - I know it won't be literally meaningless)
