[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair to Yale, I do know a very wealthy legacy kid from one of the top high schools in the country, whose grandfather made a huge donation to Yale's sailing team (grandson tried to get recruited for sailing), and was rejected. He ended up at Princeton, where he was also a legacy. 
At the same time, I know an athlete there right now who got a 1200 on the SAT. [/quote]

They had that Olympic gold medal figure skater at Yale.   But the hard truth is in the current environment that all needs to get blown up to own the libs.   And honestly, I would rather have scientific research in this country than sailing teams and figure skating medals. So I vote for the research.[/quote]

If the sacrifice for getting back research dollars is sports, drop the sports.  Turn it into an extracurricular with normal extracurricular weighting like being a musician or artist.[/quote]

Won't happen. They only need to stall and delay for a little bit longer.[/quote]
