I’m no more upset about the high acceptance rate of politicians’ kids at Harvard than I am at the high rate of politicians at the local country club. Harvard - and country clubs - know which side of the toast the butter can be found. ;0 I might be persuaded to be more miffed if I saw a study that showed the amount of federal tax dollars going to Harvard vs. the top public schools. As it is, this debate is silly and ages-old. Yes, Harvard has made admissions changes (Jews! Women! African Americans!) but basically it’s run in the way it’s always been run: through the largesse of very wealthy and/or powerful people. To be shocked that their children may have a leg up in admissions is imply to be naive. Or disingenuous. Possibly both.
