[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No they should not do this.  First your premise is wrong.  There is no evidence this would increase admits of POC.  There is every reason to believe that it would be exactly the same distribution.  Remember at most schools legacy only helps if you in the range of students that would otherwise be admitted.  No reason to think that some of them would be admitted anyway if you eliminated legacy and people that look just like them will fill the slots.  I really don't see anyone lifting increasing POC representation if legacy went away

Second I am reluctant to the government getting too deep into who can and cannot go to a certain college.

Third, why do not think the top schools with billions will just not accept those funds?  That would put people in a worse position not better.

I think the government can say they don't want to provide funds to universities that favor legacies. And no, they won't just not accept the funds. It's too much money.[/quote]
