because harvard said students could be denied admission for engaging in behavior that showed a lack of moral character.

Explanation:

• For the first question, "rescind" means to cancel. It is a common English vocabulary term.
• For the second question, Harvard rescinds admission when students show a lack of moral character as it goes against the values expected in an academic institution. Hate speech (if not illegal in the context of just being offensive) and creating alternative Facebook groups (if not violating major policies) are not the typical main reasons for rescinding admission compared to a lack of moral character which is a core aspect for an educational institution.

Answer:

1. To cancel
2. Because Harvard said students could be denied admission for engaging in behavior that showed a lack of moral character.
