[quote=Anonymous]I am a successful attorney who despite my non-ivy undergrad and law school made it. I am the son of an immigrant and came to this country when I was 6. My parents knew nothing of the college admission process. I know have high school-aged kids. I can tell you affirmative action and legacy are garbage. It is discriminatory towards other qualified applicants because their ancestors were either slaves or slave owners. As to legacy specifically, in employment and housing law there is a theory called disparate impact. This means that if an otherwise neutral policy has a discriminatory impact, it can be challenged. Colleges need to be held accountable to see if legacies are having a disparate impact on minorities, particularly Asian-Americans. [/quote]
