[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it remains to be seen if this will open up the floodgates. I am sure there are a lot of schools that don’t want to go this route and are hoping that others won’t force their hands.[/quote] I think that's true. Because of donors and full pay kids. Money is usually at the root of everything. But now that everyone sees what schools like Harvard have been doing - it's been a big sham all along - hopefully enough universities will sense that their reputations are at stake and will move accordingly to end legacy and other backdoor preferential treatment for the wealthy and preferred groups. Ultimately, a university's only currency is its reputation. But they will resist this as long as they can. [/quote]
