In a move that has sent shock waves across the world of academia, Harvard Business School today announced Rafalca had been admitted to its class of 2015.
“For decades we have been slaves to traditional admission standards and their human bias,” declared the school Dean. “With the coming of Rafalca, this scourge afflicts us no more.”
Though the London Olympic Committee expressed mild disappointment at the timing of the announcement, which deflated its positive Rafalca news cycle, there was widespread celebration in the global equine community. Authorities in Kentucky stood on high alert in case the exuberance might lead to violence.
“Thankfully, there were no fires or deaths,” announced Lexington Chief of Police Garth Pendleton. “There was that foaming steed that burst through the front glass of the Starbucks in Speigle Heights. He leapt into the barista pit, and trampled a new employee. That was the only hospitalization we know of.”
Asked what qualifications led them to select Rafalca over the legions of tri-lingual black belts with 1500 GMATs that have swelled their application database, the HBS Head of Admissions said, “she brings tremendous diversity. I mean, who else in this class speaks Hounyhnhnm? Show me one.”
The Romney family could not be reached for comment, but it was learned that the Romney Cubby in the Spangler Center will be temporarily outfitted with a Himalayan salt lick.
