Since people seem to be talking about what this means for Apple stock...
Apple's PE ratio is 15. For any given company this is a very good number. Add to this that Apple has the growth potential of a tech stock (e.g. Google has PE ratio of 40, people pay a premium for the stock because they expect it to grow).
"I don't like what they seem to be doing, but Harvard is a private university - they should be able to recruit who they want to based on their own criteria"
How is this argument different than supporting a private restaurant not serving e.g. Chinese people since they "are a private company that should be able to serve whom they want based on their own criteria?"
