Part 4/7:
Despite significant increases in federal funding over the years, the actual educational outcomes at Harvard appear stagnant. With a slight increase in graduating class sizes over decades, the institution now serves a fraction of what it was originally chartered to do. In a changing demographic landscape, where the population of potential students continues to grow, the limited expansion of Harvard's student body raises questions about inclusivity and access.
This stagnation is alarming, particularly when juxtaposed against the increasing diversity of the student population. The long-term implications for Harvard, as the oldest corporation in America, are troubling as it thrives on a model that seems increasingly disconnected from its foundational purpose of education.
