[quote=Anonymous]I would assume that your legacies are mostly your "normal, good, white, very hard working kid," so they seem to be taken care of. But I would happy to abolish the "30% of openings" that you say go to legacies along with the other special preferences. Maryland, for example, operates a system of state universities which are not all equally challenging. Let everyone find their just fit based on their accomplishments and potential .... And, you should want to support your state university even if you don't have kids going there --- strong engineering, biotech, computer science, business, and medical schools and the links they make are vital for attracting employers and keeping mom and dad doing well.[/quote]
