[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question. Why would an alumn give money to his/her school if there is no way it will help your child even in some small way don’t the road?  Isn’t this going to kill alumni giving?. [/quote]

Plus how can the state mandate what private schools do?

I only have to my Alma mater in hopes of my kids getting admitted.  Otherwise I’d rather donate to help local kids get thru hs and into college, not help an elite university with funding [/quote]i

California underwrites need based scholarships for instate students - they can pull that funding. [/quote]

Pell grant funding? Please explain. If so, it’s less than it’s ever been. USC has a robust endowment. [/quote]
If USC has such a robust endowment then legacy donations really shouldn't matter.

Plus, it's a bad look for USC and Stanford, in a very liberal state.

I guess conservatives care about elitism and hoarding opportunities.[/quote]

It's not conservatives that are whining about this.  It's the entitled liberals that are whining, conservatives barely believe in college anymore and the ones that do want their kids to get an engineering degree at a state school or something.[/quote]
Well a pp stated that they are glad  they live in a red state where they would not ban legacy, not that there are many private colleges  in red states that most people would consider elite.

Like I said, I'm trying hard to think of a school in a red state where anyone here would even care.[/quote]

Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice, Wash U, sometimes Georgia -> Emory & Georgia Tech.  Notre Dame.

Some people care about SMU, Baylor.

Dartmouth (red state govt)

Penn and Carnegie Mellon are in a state that you may have heard is a "swing state."  Bucknell, Lehigh, Swarthmore etc etc etc

[/quote]
North Carolina is not a red state.
New Hampshire is not a red state.

Rice, Wash U, and Vanderbilt are legit.

OK I retract.  [/quote]

NH is quite red.  Its dems are red.[/quote]
