Students disappointed Harvard's new president is white

Students and faculty at Harvard University are lamenting the fact that their newest university president is white.

Announced last week, Lawrence S. Bacow, an MIT and Harvard-trained attorney, author, and economist, will serve as Harvard’s 29th president. Despite his many qualifications, he doesn’t check the diversity box. Bacow will be Harvard’s 28th white male president.

Certain undergraduates attending Harvard are truly convinced that without a person of color serving as their university president, the university will lose its prominent status. They’ve made the aberrant decision of placing melanin as their arbiter of success.

“A thought that I had earlier was that, in a few years, if the diversity of the incoming class keeps increasing, [a] white president will no longer be representative of the Harvard student body, which is a big issue,” Harvard student Diego Navarrete told the campus newspaper, The Harvard Crimson.

Another student, Sebastian A. Reyes, blatantly laments seeing Bacow become president — not because he feels Bacow’s academic background isn’t on par with that of an Ivy League president, but because Bacow is not a racial minority.

Those whose minds are that closed have no business at Harvard. They should be expelled and get zero's for their classes.

It's a LAW school. not a Demographics contest.

Skin color should NOT matter. Skin color is not a requirement and never should be. Best qualified should be the goal.

Somebody ask those snowflakes to crack open a history book and read a quote from MLK, Jr., then have them reconsider their stance.
"I have a dream that...one day [I'll] live in a nation where [people] will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character."
