[quote=Anonymous]Another mountain from a molehill, where people are only concerned about this at a small handful of giant-endowment colleges. Notwithstanding the fact that legacy is used as a differentiator and not an advantage over more qualified in most cases, what I object to is that colleges have financial reasons for having this preference. It's hard enough to run colleges today and anything that helps a college financially (like legacy preference) helps all students, especially underprivileged ones. The idea that colleges do this as some kind of starchamber conspiracy to maintain a racial aristocracy is beyond ridiculous. The vast majority people making these decisions are full of the best intentions for their institution and its students.[/quote]
