<p>@Hopebrinn - I am aware of what the focus of the meeting was “supposed” to be about, but I responded only to the reality of what it became and what became its focus. The video and the corresponding article in the WSJ does not address the initial intent of the meeting; they addressed what the meeting actually morphed into, whether by force or otherwise. Intent is a pipe dream anyway; results and effects are what matter in the end.</p>
<p>I discussed this with about 25 people from these schools and the Ivys and not one person even mentioned (and half did not know) the original purpose of the meeting. And, I venture to guess the 1M people who read about the issue in the WSJ know zero about why the meeting existed in the first place. That is just the reality of the situation.</p>
