Mark, no offense was meant. I understand that many students (including myself) receive aid. What famously occurred at Smith, however, almost comically turned into a class conflict as the student body of an expensive school targeted and bullied working-class college employees even after investigation found no evidence of racism.

Just to note - the investigation you referenced found no racial bias *in the specific incidents which were alleged to be motivated by racism*, rather than examining every facet of the university and proclaiming it entirely free of any taint anywhere.
If one were to interpret your statement as asserting the latter, they could well dispute it from their "lived experience", but they would be missing the point. Specific incidents can be free of racial bias whether or not there is racial bias elsewhere, just as some people can be innocent of specific crimes in Boston even though crime does happen in that city.
