Harvard rescinds offer of admission to 10 students for creating an offensive, private sub-group from the official Class of 2021 Facebook group.
According to one website, these are some of the posts:

Overall, I agree with the decision. For one, I think the bar for rescinding an offer of admission is quite low. I remember hearing that if a high school senior slacked off late during their senior year, their offer of admission could be canceled.
I'd like to think that Stanford admits fewer Brock Turners, Harvard soccer teams, and Duke lacrosse teams than other schools, but maybe that is just wishful thinking.
I can say I lived in the same dorm as many top athletes, and every one had excellent character as far as I saw (and you see a fair amount in a dorm).
