<p>I know we are supposed to bow down to Harvard, however, I am not sure that Harvard has been good for our country over the last two decades. Larry Summers, and the other Harvard trained geniuses who have unleashed moral hazard in the banking industry, make for poor representatives of that esteemed institution. </p>

<p>Have y’all heard about the scandal at Emory as well? </p>

<p>Looks like Emory has been inflating its data to improve its rankings.</p>

<p>Funny that the course that the students were cheating in was called Introduction to Congress!!!</p>

<p>I think that headline should read “Only Publicized” instead of “Unprecedented”.</p>

<p>In an Aug. 31 story in the New York Times, Harvard’s dean of undergraduate education, Jay Harris, said that the alleged cheating scandal is “unprecedented in its scope and magnitude.” </p>

<p>Harvard’s word, not mine.</p>

<p>I did not mean your headline, Malanai, I meant Harvard’s headline.</p>

<p>I guess they weren’t so smart at cheating. I love UA and will never regret my choice to attend here, and honestly, I don’t care if I never grace the classroom door at Harvard or any Ivy league institution. I personally think they are overrated. My point being though… How could you be so incredibly stupid to ruin your academic career and grand opportunity at Harvard. Rooooollll Tide!</p>
