Episode notes

Harvard's admission average for black students is 1408, below the average SAT score for top universities. This suggests that racial quotas may be justifying lower admission standards for black students. The unspoken assumption is that a racially diverse student body is self-justifying as meritocracy is supposedly unjust and racist. Harvard's emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion in the face of merit is causing concern, as it promotes discriminating against higher achieving groups and undermines the idea of meritocracy.

New details break in Harvard’s attempt to save Claudine Gay’s job; the Biden administration signals it won’t secure the border in return for Ukraine aid; and Joe Biden threatens Israel with loss of support.
