They used this group to trade messages and images, and most of them were sexually categorical and some of them insulted cultural elements. The Crimson indicated that one commenter called the “piñata time” to a proposed hanging of a Mexican child. Other presented jokes regarding the Holocaust, child abuse and sexual assault. A spokeswoman from Harvard, Rachael Dane refused to comment and said Harvard doesn’t need to discuss the admission status of any individual applicant.

The university confirmed that the offers of accepted students can be withdrawn after finding their behavior as a question for their honesty, maturity or moral character. These are some reasons among a variety of other reasons. Point to be noted that the Crimson didn’t mention any student who claim for their admissions offers were withdrawn.
