Heather MacDonald, my personal Newsbabe of the year, has a killer piece in City Journal on Harvard, "diversity," and things about thinking, or sort of thinking.

.....the university has brought forth the next best thing: a report on “diversity” that, like all such products, possesses the power of shutting down every critical faculty in seemingly intelligent people....

If untapped pools of highly qualified female and minority candidates existed out there, schools would have snapped them up long ago—if not your college, then its dozens of competitors, just as desperate to placate the quota gods.

As usual, MacDonald lays it in there but because Harvard thinks they are better than everyone else, they will continue on the path to mediocrity.
