All the other unearned admissions should be done away with before they tackle children of faculty, just because that category seems slightly less unfair to me. After all, these families are usually not wealthy, and you'd expect children of faculty to be reasonably academic.

But yes, in the end, they all have to go.[/quote]

And at elite/high stats universities, the kids typically still have to gain admissions---they don't just automatically get in.  I have family member employed by elite university.  First kid did not apply because they did not have the stats to get in and knew there is no preference given to faculty/staff kids.  2nd kid did get in, but they had the stats to be competitive.   Also this family member works for one of the top faculty members at the university---there are buildings on the campus with this faculty members name on it because they have donated millions from research results that made them wealthy.  So if anyone could get a kid with "lower stats" in it would be this situation.  If the faculty member said "admit this kid" it would probably happen if allowed.
