I agree that Harvard shouldn't have to keep him as a student but they do need to pay damages if they breach the deal they agreed to. To put hard numbers on it, let's go with $2,000,000 for lost earnings and $500,000 for the emotional value of having a Harvard degree. I'm open to higher damages if he can show that he has specific career goals (like holding high office) for which a Harvard degree provides greater benefit than it does for the average Harvard grad.

If punitive damages were allowed I'd go up to the full 10x, for a total of $25 million. But probably not going to be allowed on a breach of contract case.
