People Self Segregate; Harvard Promotes Diversity, and Segregates Its Housing

[From article]
Individuals and groups of all sorts have always differed from one another in many ways, throughout centuries of history and in countries around the world. Left to themselves, people tend to sort themselves out into communities of like-minded neighbors.
This has been so obvious that only the intelligentsia could misconstrue it — and only ideologues could devote themselves to crusading against people's efforts to live and associate with other people who share their values and habits.



That may be true but Harvard University promotes diversity and multiculturalism for their campus and for the world. Yet they segregate their housing portfolio, restricting it to only full time Harvard affiliates. Within the buildings they move elder tenants into one segregating it further by age. Is that an example of how the intelligentsia corrupts its own standards? Or is it how the liberal elite sets standards for others but exempts itself from the standards?
