"What about other universities?" Brooklyn asked. He did not take the liberty of agreeing or disagreeing.

"The traitors at Yale are the first to be good, and of course they won't choose to quit." John Manning's tone was not good, a bit of a blow and glaring at the eyes.

Brooklyn didn't care about John Manning's tone. From the moment John Manning drove Barry to leave him, the old man was firmly tied to his ship.

Getting rid of Barry was a tough decision, which meant that John Manning had already made the decision, and he thought Brooklyn was worth more than Barry.

Even for his own sake, John Manning will continue to support Brooklyn ever since. It was also in recognition of this that the others did not object when John Manning drove Barry away.

The people here may be infighting, but most of them still understand things. Their position comes from Harvard, and Harvard is down, and it doesn't do them any good.

Brooklyn is the man John Manning thinks can keep his position at Harvard, and they are willing to believe John Manning's vision and give Brooklyn time to prove it.

"The rankings are just names." Brooklyn said thoughtfully

"Giving up the false name, we can choose the number of places we admit on our own, and when we select students, we can start purely from the perspective of the student's potential, without having to consider external factors such as rankings."

"I think it's time to quit." Unlike the last time I participated in the party, this time Brooklyn spoke boldly and actively participated.

At the last meeting, he was just a little minion who had just stepped into the threshold, and even if he spoke, he would not be taken seriously.

It's different now. Now he has to not only speak, but also speak actively, to show value and ability, to let them know that it was the right thing to do for themselves over Barry.

"Everyone has seen the current state of law school." Brooklyn didn't stop there, he continued

"Yesterday I gave a public class to the students, and I got to know them better."

"There was a little problem in the open class."

"Originally, I didn't realize that the current law students would not be able to think rationally even at the most basic level, and the syllabus I designed was based on the quality of the students I was studying. As a result, it seems a little too difficult for today's students. ”

"They can't see the essence of the problem, they can't even learn to think for themselves, they can't think rationally, and they're just like all those who only get information through the news on TV every day, and they've been blinded by a mess of information."

"They were less interested in my course because I supported the retention of the death penalty, and then they were interested in me as a person, my thoughts, my philosophy, my knowledge...... I have completely denied everything. ”

"To be honest, if I hadn't been in a familiar classroom, I would have thought I was in a slum with a bunch of homeless people and addicts sitting in front of me." Brooklyn put it bluntly, almost saying that this class of students is a bunch of idiots.

"Their brains can't even process the most basic information, they can't even restrain their sensibilities, and frankly, I don't think they can bring any value to Harvard."

"They're too dull and too slow to react."

"The Harvard Law School rankings only attract a bunch of fools and brains, and I think it's better to put this honor aside and select some more valuable students in a down-to-earth manner."

"Our fame has been deeply rooted in people's hearts through decades of accumulation, and there is no need for publicity." After Brooklyn finished speaking, others were also commenting one after another.

Brooklyn noticed a phenomenon. Only the people at the table had spoken, and no one had spoken since they entered the auditorium, whether Barry had questioned John Manning for letting him into parliament, or whether it was now formally discussing the topic.

They were silent as if they didn't exist. Or more accurately, they entered the auditorium with only ears and eyes, and their mouths seemed to have landed on the hotel.

It's an interesting phenomenon. According to Brooklyn's understanding, Harvard meetings should be established along the lines of the House of Elders and the parliamentary system, and those who are qualified to enter the auditorium will be considered members of the council and have the right to express their opinions and even put forward their own opinions.

But now, it doesn't seem to be the case. The Harvard parliament was more hierarchical than the House of Elders or the parliamentary system.

Those who are not seated at the conference table do not seem to be qualified to speak. Come to think of it this way, he was right to not say a word last time.

These were the inferences that Brooklyn had observed, and he didn't know if they were right. He was also taught the rules and etiquette of the Harvard school.

Thinking about it this way, he seems to have misunderstood how others behaved when Barry disputed his skin color and ethnicity.

The sixteen people at the table represent the attitude of the others, but it cannot be completely assumed that all people are on the same page, but the minority obeys the majority.

Ha! Fortunately, the people in the auditorium have some brains, and there will not be any "wonderful" dramas of "why should the minority obey the majority" and "this is discriminating against the minority".

Thinking so, Brooklyn unconsciously tugged at the corners of his mouth, looked up and found that John Manning was staring at him, and quickly smoothed the corners of his mouth, pretending to listen carefully.

Almost everyone has their opinion. When the last man had finished speaking, John Manning announced a show of hands.

Brooklyn watched secretly and voted 'yes'. It reminded him of the plea bargain battle that preceded the shooting.

At that time, John Manning made a point of calling him to ask him to take a stand and remind him that he could not abstain from voting.

Brooklyn raised his hand and looked around the conference table to see that no one had abstained. John Manning announced the vote not by asking 'yes' and 'against' in turn, but only 'agree'.

By default, those who did not raise their hands voted no. John Manning did not vote as Speaker, and the other fifteen voted 8-7.

Agreeing to Harvard's proposal to withdraw from the university rankings, it won by a narrow margin. John Manning nodded, motioning for everyone to drop their hands

"Next Agenda ......" Brooklyn didn't make any more trouble, but obediently followed the flow of the meeting and actively participated.

He's eye-catching enough today. As a newcomer to the highest-profile council within the Harvard School for the first time, Brooklyn is not like any other ordinary newcomer.

He was John Manning's designated successor. This identity naturally allowed him to get more attention. The other veteran members would have been even harsher on him, even if they didn't have the heart to compete for John Manning's place.

They naturally look at Brooklyn with scrutiny, and every word and deed, every move in Brooklyn will be observed by them with a magnifying glass.

The requirements for Brooklyn are also higher than those of other newcomers. Because he wasn't just a member of the Haval faction.

Sitting at the conference table was only the starting point for him, and he was going to be the leader of the Haval faction. They rightfully want to demand more from Brooklyn!

The status of the successor has made Brooklyn eye-catching enough, but he is still so young. In terms of age alone, almost all of you are at least a lifetime older than Brooklyn, and even the youngest is nearly ten years older than Brooklyn.

And these youngest, they still came to the meeting on behalf of others. The people behind them may have been older than John Manning.

Like Anthony Kennedy. The agenda proceeded in an orderly manner, and time was lost as issues were raised, discussed, and finally voted on or put on hold.

Brooklyn found that the conference was not about what was supposed to be high. Racism and sexism are the hottest topics in the Federation, as well as environmentalism and vegetarianism in Europe.

These were not mentioned once at the meeting. What are they discussing? Harvard Law School's intern placement for this year.

In this topic, e.. Y was forced to shove a few people in. Brooklyn originally wanted to object to this, but after seeing that a law firm partner next to him was stuffed with nearly 20 interns in one go, he obediently shut up.

Future Career Orientation for Harvard Law School Students. Harvard does not limit what future careers students can pursue.

Graduates of law school may return to Montana to work as a farmer or Texas as a butcher.

Harvard doesn't care, and it can't. Harvard is, after all, a school, not an NC organization.

Not even the parents of this group of students. But Harvard has the power to make an impact on students' career plans. For example, at Brooklyn's suggestion, Harvard will increase the number of times famous judges from all over the world come to the university to give speeches in the future, arousing students' yearning for a career as a judge.

This also means that Harvard will continue to increase its voice within the judicial system in the coming years, selectively giving up comprehensive development and specializing in the courts.

Brooklyn listened and found that the topics were basically related to Harvard Law School. It can be seen that the Harvard faction is really in a hurry.

They are even willing to give up other fields, only to guarantee for the time being that they will not withdraw from the federal judicial system, and to ensure the voice of the Harvard school in exchange for time to train and adjust the direction of students.

Brooklyn listened attentively and participated attentively. At first, he sat upright, listening carefully to every word of each speaker, making sure he didn't miss a single word.

But as meetings increased from time to time, and as more and more people went to the toilet to solve their personal problems, Brooklyn couldn't sit still.

Even though some students would bring some fruit and dessert tea from time to time to satisfy their hunger, Brooklyn still couldn't sit still.

Joke! He's been sitting here for 7 hours! John Manning even went out to change his clothes, and his voice was hoarse!

"I think we should have a unified metric. Establish the criteria that need to be met for admission, quantify them, and select students based on numerical values. It's not that the set of recommendation letters can't be used, but a specific quantitative standard should be given. It's like the college entrance examination on the other side of the ocean. ”

"Their secondary school will be divided into subjects, basically divided into liberal arts and science, the liberal arts need to study the courses are Chinese, mathematics, English, history, geography, politics, science needs to learn the courses are Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, biology."

"Their college entrance exams are different according to the classification, and the test subjects are also different. They will draw a unified line according to the needs of each year, and those whose scores exceed the admission score line will be selected for merit, and those who are lower than the admission score line will be eliminated. ”

"This approach to admission is intuitive enough, has a clearly visible criterion, and is also convincing." Brooklyn finished speaking in one gulp, picked up the coffee he had just served, and then sat down in his chair without any image, pulling at his collar.

At this time, they were discussing the issue of Harvard Law School's admissions this year. At this time, the 'elders' around the conference table have long since lost the elite style of the morning.

They all wore loose ties, open collars, and their faces were shiny. The conference table was filled with smoke, cigars and cigarettes, intertwined with the smell of sweat and foxes.

Fill in a little bit of men's perfume smell, the smell is very sour. But Brooklyn can't take care of that anymore.

He felt like an unlucky candidate who took eight courses in a single day, and as if he had just encountered a poor victim of QB, with a dull brain, glazed eyes, and lost sight.

Seven hours! None of the Brooklyn court sessions have ever been that long! As a judge, he can already sit still!

Of course, not all people at the conference table are as imageless as them. Several people who attended the meeting on behalf of others always maintained the appearance of suits and leather shoes, and did not dare to make a move.

This is especially true of the 'Silencers' behind them. The meeting has been a torment for them in Brooklyn, and even more so for those who are not even qualified to speak.

After all, in Brooklyn, they can at least choose a comfortable sitting position.

"Meritocracy is not a good standard." Someone retorted with a cigar. Brooklyn rubbed her waist, reluctantly licked her lips, and nodded

"Of course, meritocracy is not advisable. I don't mean to copy everything, but to learn this way of thinking and method. ”

"We need to have clear admissions criteria. For example, what level of recommendation can be converted into a letter of recommendation for a position or more, what level of activities have you participated in, what role you have played in it, and how much value can be converted. ”

"Nowadays, many students will try their best to get a letter of recommendation and put their name on any event with a big name."

"His resume looks fantastic, but what about the real situation?"

"He probably didn't even attend the event and didn't know anything about the event."

"He probably didn't even know the person who wrote the letter of recommendation. His letters of recommendation may have been bought. ”

"You should know that there are quite a few people who write recommendation letters to sell."

"Letters of recommendation and group activities can certainly reflect a person's abilities, but there are big loopholes in this area, and they are being exploited continuously."

"We need a better student, not a better student. I'd rather have students with better grades than this. ”

"But that's too much work." Questions were raised. Brooklyn nodded

"Definitely. But that's all I can think of at the moment. ”

"Do you choose the difficult way to solve the problem, or do you stay the same and wait for a better way? It's up to you to make a choice. ”
