Built and subsidized by Americans.  Sorry, we have no obligation to educate Asia's students.[/quote]

Harvard is a private institution.  Absent violating the law it can choose any path it wishes.  There are many nonprofits that work solely with non-citizen clients. That’s not the test.  And research funding is because the government thinks it’s worth it to invest.  And Harvard has, simply put, more money than most countries. So it has some remarkable independence.  in my view, it has used that independence to make a very high-quality education available to people with relatively low incomes, and has done a lot of good. People may think otherwise, but it is an independent, very wealthy institution that makes its own decisions.[/quote]

If Harvard truly wants to support URMs, they can do better. They can invest in the URM communities k-12 to better prepare URM students. They have the resources. [/quote]

Harvard has its own mission.  To educate future leaders be they URMs or not.  Many Harvard URMs graduates do focus on developing URM communities. Also the URM average family income is higher than the average family income of white students and has been for a very long time.  There are many URM kids at Harvard that are NOT poor or on any financial aid.[/quote]
