Michael Harriot:
Between 2014 and 2019, 69.3% of the legacy admissions to Harvard were white. And, while most people think of athletic scholarships for football and basketball going to Black students, athletic scholarships are disproportionately reserved for non-revenue (pronounced “why-yet”) sports and students who shoot golf, play rowing and do sword fighting. This year alone, 75% of the athletes recruited for Harvard’s 2023 freshman class are white."
