[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no way this would pass, right? Applies to any institution that participates in federal student aid programs, and includes the option of a waiver for HBCUs. Is that even constitutional?

Why would the Democrats do this juuuust at the point [b]when increasing numbers of POC will start to benefit from legacy preferences[/b]? It's like they're determined to lose my (POC) vote.[/quote]

Looks like you are one of them.  But the majority of POCs will not be benefited from legacy preferences.[/quote]

I also am 'one of them'. That's not the point. Point is that something that once seemed reasonable, and had value, suddenly doesn't because there's a significant amount of POC who benefit.[/quote]

First, there are not "a significant amount of POC who benefit". Second, it is an unfair practice and the majority of POCs do not benefit from it.  Third, if you are a POC and a graduate from HPY, you are already privileged, so you should give your fellow POCs more opportunities. [/quote]
