Conservative activist describes 'corrupt pseudo-diversity' at Harvard while arguing for free tuition

Harvard alumnus Ron Unz - the former publisher of The American Conservative - recently participated in the first-ever debate for a spot on the school's Board of Overseers, The Harvard Crimson reported.

Unz is running on a so-called Free Harvard Fair Harvard, which is seeking to do away with tuition at the Ivy League school, in part, to help it attract more non-wealthy students.

At the debate, Unz also said he opposes race-based affirmative action and would consider a "semi-random method" for selecting students, according to the Crimson.

"If we want true diversity, fair diversity, we should go with the random model, rather than the corrupt pseudo-diversity that we have right now at Ivies like Harvard," said Unz at the debate, which was sponsored by the Harvard Republican Club and two law school groups.
