Stupid cracker.
BTW - after so much about Barack Obama, Derrick Bell, Elizabeth Warren and others I'm wondering what the **** is supposed to be so prestigious about this $50,000/year sink hole. Supposedly the draw of Harvard is to gain access to knowledge and wisdom not to be found at the local community college. Yet, they seem to be bamboozled by every two-bit huckster to come down the pike.
I can address at least the bolded part of your comment/question.......a student will NOT receive any higher quality education at Harvard (or any of the Ivy's for that matter) than any other institution depending on major and student dedication.
Harvard doesn't really "stand out" academically in any area, in fact, a number of their departments are decidedly substandard. You'll never see this anywhere in print, but they really suck in the sciences, finance, journalism, languages, literature, and even their much-touted business school is far inferior to schools like Penn or University of Maryland.
What Harvard DOES have is a distinguished alumni network, and a "legacy" system that works well to place their graduates in prestigious positions.....it's an "old boy" network that has been in place for over 200 years, and is quite effective. Harvard graduates can be (and many of them are) dumb as a box of rocks, but they are guaranteed a good position upon graduation because companies are "credentialist" and like nothing better than to have a "Harvard grad"on their payroll. Same goes for politics and fields like law and consulting......it's all image and little substance.
