Harvard is in trouble because it put diversity before meritocracy, Buffett does not.

I find it interesting that the greatest investor of my lifetime doesn’t buy into the common mantra that “diversity is our strength”. Does that make him a secret racist or sexist? Not necessarily.

Has he successfully selected Board Members to help guide his company? Obviously. And if you are an investor in his company all you care about is making sure the company remains profitable.
