<p>“. I have been a part of the Harvard community for over 30 years and I am still stunned at how little Harvard does for students from non-traditional backgrounds. While tutoring is available, it is rather costly ($15/hr) and is usually not covered by financial aid. These students really do it through sheer force of will. I can’t tell you how impressed with student like Khadijah.”</p>
<p>That’s interesting. My Harvard classmates who came from low income backgrounds graduated from Harvard. Seems that Harvard would be easier for such students now because they don’t have to deal with the constant campus upheaval – protests, etc. – that my generation had to deal with. The administration was so busy dealing with things like that that my class got even less support than do most Harvard students.</p>
<p>I wish Kadijah well, and hope that she will find a home at Harvard.</p>
