[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How will threats by the new administration impact admissions review of applications in the upcoming year? No more diversity essay? Or don't highlight anything dealing with diversity or equity and the like in your essays or ECs?

According to a Trump Administration official who spoke about Harvard:
“[They] should assign Office of [sic] Civil Rights employees to the Harvard admissions office and direct the university to hold no admissions meeting without their physical presence,” Eden wrote. “The Office of Civil Rights should be copied on every email correspondence, and Harvard should be forced to provide a written rationale for every admissions decision to ensure nondiscrimination.”

It's not clear what his role is but it's safe to say there is pressure being exerted by the administration. Please, only comments on changes you think will occur - this is not an invite for trolls to hijack this thread![/quote]

I love all of the hypocrites who voted for Trump because they want less inflation, smaller government, more working class jobs, food on their table, etc. are OK with spending lots of money on policing Harvard. How does this impact their lives in any way whatsoever?

[b]Now I have some issues with how Harvard handled some things. But this is such a ridiculous, childish over-reaction.[/b] And all of these idiots are doing exactly what Trump and his propaganda machine are telling them to do because they are brainwashed. Meanwhile the price of their eggs keeps going up. But I'm sure that is Biden's fault. Because heaven forbid they question one thing Trump does.[/quote]

This is most definitely an unreasonable reaction to racial discrimination that was going on before but you can't always expect reasoanble responses to racism.  Wasn't that what we were told when the BLM riots were going on?  That some irrationlity is to be expected in response to racial discrimination?
