[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Banning donors is stupid. Goodbye financial aid.

Colleges should be smart enough to reject non donor legacies[/quote]

This. Legislators are so short shorted. They see only the problem in front of them and they never see the longer range consequences of legislation.  The legacy students make up a very small percent at USC and Stanford and yet they keep alumni engaged and donating.

I hope it fails. [/quote]

14% of the student body being legacy or donor connected is NOT small.  Stanford accepts only 3% of applicants.

USC accepted 1,740 applicants with legacy or donor connections, or 14.4% of the fall 2022 admitted class, according to data submitted to the state. Of those, 96% were relatives of alumni and nearly 4% were connected only to donors. Stanford offered admission to 287 students, or 13.8% of the class — with 92% related to alumni and 8% with ties only to donors.[/quote]
