      People don’t go to Harvard to get an education. They go because their parents are elites and they want their kids to make connections with the kids of other elites. The research makes headlines, but that’s not their main purpose. This creates a campus culture that could be what actually is “radicalizing”, but in their case, it’s the sataus quo, what is right and what is natural.

        Elites don’t go to Harvard for an education. But the rest of their students are there for one. I know several people with degrees from Harvard who grew up middle class and are now teaching at other universities.
