I'm finding this thesis kind of pathetic, it doesn't seem PhD material to me.

The US is so ¬ DEI and sensitive about it that even mentioning anything DEI related gets you in a position of power at Harvard now?

Fun fact for me, I beat Harvard in an ACM north east programming competition many years ago (but got destroyed by MIT). To be fair, I don't think Harvard is known for its comp sci.

She attended Princeton and Stanford as an undergrad and got her PhD at Harvard. She sounds more like a legacy hire than a DEI hire.

Those universities place a ton of weight on DEI admissions policies.

It's basically lowering the standards, but only for certain groups.

I wouldn't want to know a Medical Doctor made it through on DEI weighting in admissions policies. DEI is a sick joke.
