...justify corrupting the admissions process, especially not when our endowment continues to soar upwards of $29 billion. Just as financial aid is separated from admissions, alumni giving must be separated from the process as well.Another example of inequality which must be examined is the recruiting process. With Facebook groups such as “Thats [sic] Right I Got Recruited... Bitch” which support those who “steal the valedectorians [sic] lunch money in high school,” perhaps we should ask what value those who are at Harvard only for athletics bring. Of course, athletics...

If I am looking for a new roommate, every detail about Bill helps me make a fairer assessment...
...Facebook, always an experiment in open communication, attempted this week to expand its position. The venture was unsettling, but not wholly unproductive. Millions asked how information impacts choice. Zuckerberg grappled publicly with what the “free flow of information” really means. Having been deluged in overwhelmingly negative input, it would be a sad irony if the Facebook did not now scale back. They have the information—but will they make the right choice...
