Do admissions at elite universities contradict the widely shared American values of equality and meritocracy?
FDR arrived at Harvard in September 1900. A Groton grad, Roosevelt exemplified the prototypical Harvard student. Filled with elite club systems (Eating Clubs, Final Clubs, Secret Societies) which were very hierarchical and dictated the social life at the University, every school had stringent quotas and attempted to keep Jews, Catholics and blacks out of their schools.
Dean Lawrence R. Velvel of The Massachusetts School of Law interviews author and University of California Berkeley professor Jerome Karabel about his book, The Chosen The Hidden History of Admission and Exclusion at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton.
The Massachusetts School of Law also presents information on important current affairs to the general public in television and radio broadcasts, an intellectual journal, conferences, author appearances, blogs and books.
THE MASSACHUSETTS SCHOOL OF LAW IS NEW ENGLAND’S MOST AFFORDABLE AND DIVERSE LAW SCHOOL. We are dedicated to growing tomorrow’s leaders; empowering them with professional skills taught by instructors with real world experience, in a fun supportive campus environment.
