While \u2062she has\u200d little experience or knowledge in any field\u200d relevant to running\u2064 a university, her popularity among young progressives would undoubtedly make her a favorite among Harvard&#8217;s student body.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, AOC&#8217;s penchant\u200c for using social media to advance her political agenda would \u2063be an asset in\u200d the\u2063 modern age\u2064 of communication.
