Harvard chickened out

No,  Harvard did not chicken out. Harvard is strategic.  Harvard figured that Asians have academic chops and are going to other universities instead of Harvard and raising the profile of those universities. The Asians being rejected by Harvard are usually rejected because they are Asians, and because Harvard did not have seats.

Asians are also getting high positions in various industries  so eventually it is proved that Harvard is not the only way to become successful.   Case  in point - UMD.  It is a school of choice of many highest performers of mcps magnet programs because of its cohort and race blind admission.  In-state tuition does not hurt. Also, the cohort makes the difference.

Harvard name brand is not making things easier for anyone but the most connected whites so Asians are not particularly seeing the benefit of Harvard.  In the end, the world order is changing.  If Harvard does not take Asians, then other universities become more successful and have influential alums.

Harvard does not care for the tuition $$.  [b]Harvard cares about having influence in the world.[/b] Harvard is hedging its bets that they have some representation among those leaders in the world that are not White.   [/quote]
