He already had planned to take a gap year.
I find his tweets reflect a tone that show he is not contrite or too mature just wishes he wasn’t rescinded.
Many people who know him have stated that his comments on the chat group weren’t isolated and that he talked like this frequently.
When this came to light, I think there was no other course of action for Harvard other than doing what they did. They have a duty to all the other students, students who reflect the diversity he so grossly disparaged.
I love Harvard Diversity’s response - “I encourage you to search online”. In other words, don’t expect us to do your work for you and buh-bye!
I don’t have much sympathy for racists, even teenaged ones. I hope he figures it out and looks inward.
