I wish corporate recruitment and promotion could be this well defined.[/quote]

Corporates pay tax and pay my salary.
Colleges take my money and tax payers money.

I expect much better from colleges.[/quote]

How do colleges take taxpayers money? And don’t say through research grants because that shows you have no idea what research grants are and how they work and what you have to do to get them..[/quote]

If a college has a student gets Pell grant, that's federal tax money. [/quote]

If a student receives a pell grant and chooses the college to spend it at you think that creates sons sense of obligation for the college?

by that logic, every supermarket in the United States takes taxpayer money.  do you think you get to tell them how to operate also ? and yes, it’s exactly the same thing

You would prefer it if the college then chose not to accept students who needed Pell grants?[/quote]

If the college wants the student, the cost should be covered by its endowment, otherwise it's taking tax payers money.[/quote]

You did not answer any of the questions.

The Pell grant is given to the student.  Not the college. Hence the supermarket analogy you conveniently ignore.  Because of course it defeats your desired narrative that because you pay taxes you get to tell private colleges how to do things, which is preposterous.[/quote]

WTF why don't you keep up?

It's already happening.
Tax payers can demand as long as the college benefits from tax payers money. 
Law makers listen to the voters.  Government research  funding can also go to hundreds of other colleges that comply.

Forfeit all the benefits then they can do whatever they want.  I wouldn't care at that point.

Again you did not answer the questions.

And you know what the result will be of this, right?  No more Pell grants accepted at private colleges. This, BTW, is the actual goal of many of the activist legislators.[/quote]

LOL what answer?  What part of 'it's actually happening' didn't you get it? 
You didn't even know what's happening around you and talking garbage.
The result will be that colleges, both public and private, have more fair admissions practice. That's the goal.
Like you said the private colleges have freedom, just not on my tax money.
How old are you? Why are you against progress?  Your kid got in backdoor?

No, but thanks for all the unwarranted aspersions.

I think private colleges should be able to accept whoever they want however they want as long as they don’t violate the law.

What will happen if this type of legislation prevails is that elite colleges won’t accept Pell grants anymore.  I think that would be a TRAGEDY.  And all because you don’t think they can pick a legacy over 95 other equally qualified students (And yes they are all equally qualified and capable of doing the work, an admission is not a reward for your SAT score).

I DISLIKE legacy admissions personally, but if the college thinks it is important for their fundraising so they can have larger endowments and give MORE money to needy students, I think that is the most admirable of goals.  I think the people running the colleges know what is best for them, and I believe they are, for the most part, ethical people.

You, however, would prefer to put all that at risk to increase your kid’s odds from 5% to % 5 1/2%.[/quote]
