Before the season, when asked what he was looking for in his third guard, Sullivan said, “We need a [third guard] who can make the extra pass, who can get to the basket, and, more importantly, guard people.” Pusar has done all three...
Daniel Golden reveals in “The Price of Admission” that Harvard admissions officers rank “Asian American candidates on average below whites in ‘personal qualities,’” as well as frequently comment that they are “‘quiet/shy” and “hard workers.” Without evidence to substantiate these generalizations, these comments smack of a self-fulfilling stereotype: Admissions officers expect Asian applicants to have such qualities, and therefore see these in them more so than they...
