Shouted slogans elicit reactions of disgust--not exactly the best image for a group trying to foster social change. So as I walked in the other direction from the demonstration, I wondered why those protesting were opting to spend part of their busy Harvard lives standing around screaming. If Harvard were somehow blatantly ignoring the facts of the diversity situation by aggressively and repeatedly under-hiring minorities, then maybe then their sore throats would be justified.
