[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Amherst is the closest school to Ivies to go this route which is good. Athletics are still major funnel of rich white kids.[/quote] Athletics is also a major funnel for black kids. So what?[/quote] At schools with selective admissions, like Amherst, athletics is dominated by wealthy white students. The point is that if you’re going to get rid of legacy admissions you should be taking a hard look at athletic preferences because they’re probably even more skewed[/quote] You’re making the flawed assumption that white athletes are unqualified for admission. For the privileged crew or squash athletes it’s jus a finger on the scale. For the POC football or basketball player it’s a lifeline.[/quote]
