[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many seem to be glossing over what Harvard is accused of. At its heart there are two key issues.

1). Why does Harvard rate Asian kids consistently and persistently low to very low on likability, courage, kindness and being widely respected? Imagine if Harvard had been rating blacks and Latinos similarly over the years?

2). [b]How/why does Harvard send recruitment letters to many black applicants with SAT scores of around 1100 but the same threshold applies to Asian men @1380 SAT?[/b] We are not talking 10 or 20 pts. Many may not understand that the SAT scores range is not linear...........280 pts. is a massive difference.

Harvard admissions claims that race is never a positive or negative factor but its process says otherwise. The question is does its rigged process rise to the level of actionable legal malfeasance.[/quote]

I suspect the answer to this question is that Asians are not statically underrepresented in Harvard's applicant pool. A recruiting letter is not an offer of admission, and I suspect you'd find Harvard using different metrics for kids from Broken Wagonwheel, Idaho and kids from Darien, Connecticut. [/quote]
