    I think this is the wrong time to be having that argument. Particularly since the issue here isn’t truly admissions criteria. It’s about crushing dissent. I don’t love Harvard for a lot of other reasons, but we can talk about that maybe after the wannabe dictator is dealt with.

      I don’t know if you read the article or not, but this is very clearly about race here. They mention DEI and “merit-based reform” which is directly pointing at admission practices.

      Yeah, there’s some free speech shit sprinkled in there too - but it directly mentions the subject I am talking about as well.

      Yes, I know the overarching subject matter is that the administration is pissed off about people protesting on behalf of Palestine, but the topic of my reply is clearly an integral part of the article as well.
