My Vietnamese neighbor, with two high-achieving young daughters, is incensed by Harvard's discrimination against Asians. I've pointed out to him that maybe he would be better off if the girls don't go there anyhow.
The thinking of faculty and administrators in higher ed is status-driven by default. Salaried employees with phoney-baloney jobs are PLU (many times the dangling PhD in a faculty marriage). Wage earners who do practical things are pairs of hands. They don't care about pairs of hands.

Why would they worry about people that are invisible to them?
