Subject: Re: Why Does Harvard Have A Women's Rugby Team? Author: SpuytenDuyvil76 (veritas) [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 06:04:26 01/22/25 Wed In reply to: An Observer 's message, "Why Does Harvard Have A Women's Rugby Team?" on 01:14:44 01/22/25 Wed I don't think women's rugby, gets 30 to 40 slots. No way. Probably get 5 or 6. BTW, out of a roster (per website) of 30 players, at least 1/3rd appear of color, or what could be called "non-white". I do wonder about the intentionality cited by Gladwell and his primary source. The effect in some of the other sports, however, is undeniable. PS: In the 1920's, HYP didn't have to look far afield. They could see for themselves what their own purely merit based, academic only admissions numbers were telling them. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
