Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences Lowers Standards for Low Performance Races

Harvard’s School of Engineering and Applied Sciences released a five year strategic  plan to address diversity, inclusion, and belonging at the school in an email to faculty, staff, and students earlier this week.
     
The report was created by the SEAS Committee on Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging in response to the data collected from a 2018 SEAS climate survey, which found more than a quarter of its respondents said that they have experienced harassment or discrimination during their time at SEAS.

The plan includes eight goals ranging from recruiting more diverse faculty, students, postdoctoral researchers, and staff to reducing and preventing instances of harassment or discrimination. It also includes expanding outreach programs promoting science, technology, engineering, and mathematics education in Cambridge and Allston...

Alexis J. Stokes, DIB committee chair, wrote in an emailed statement that she is “hopeful” the report will advance the committee’s efforts...

The report states a number of initiatives to improve these metrics, including fundraising to support post-undergraduate programming for students who lack preparation for graduate school... 

Stokes said she is excited to begin implementing these recommendations, but understands the challenges that lie ahead. 
     
“I am also acutely aware that this process will be uncomfortable and will require us to push through that discomfort until we see change,” Stokes wrote. “I am not saying this will be easy. There is nothing easy about diversity, equity, and inclusion work but I would argue it is some of the most rewarding work.”

By every objective measurable criterion members of some races tend to be more intelligent than members of other races. At the extremes racial differences are considerable. For decades Jews, Orientals, and East Indians have provided Harvard with lots of diversity. Why is it necessary to lower standards to admit more blacks and Hispanics? Diversity and inclusion are euphemisms for discriminating against races that are characterized by intelligence and achievement.

I suspect that students who feel that they have "experienced harassment or discrimination during their time at SEAS" have felt the resentment of students and professors who belong there and who know that those students do not belong.

Students who "who lack preparation for graduate school" at Harvard should not be admitted. They should be encouraged to take remedial courses at local community colleges. 

Admission to Harvard is one of the best things that can happen to a young person. Admission should not be an entitlement for those whose ancestors were mistreated in the past.
