This is a news on cbsnews about collges/universities.

Any reason to delete this thread???

I think things will eventually go to the right directions getting rid of preferences on Legacy and URM.

It doesn't matter. Now that test optional is the new standard and colleges describe a "holistic process", they will take whomever they want with even more opacity.

The process is completely broken.

Wonderful. I hope it’s banned everywhere. It’s a joke.

They should ban forcing you to mark race and legacy status on college applications just like job applications.

Even if it is banned, colleges can continue this practice. How would anyone be able to prove they took a legacy because they are a legacy. The college could put any reason down for accepting a student.

Just like discrimination laws.
There will be a lot of law suits if they still practice the discrimination.

I'm not going to benefit from it at all, but too many people are too emotionally invested in this. It's not worth it.

Neither federal nor state governments can ban colleges and universities from determning the criteria they want to build their student community, as long as they don't discriminate against protected classes. I can't believe the reach you all want government to have over our everyday lives. It's insane.

Public schools might get baned.
Private colleges and universities at least start paying tax then.
