[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]+1 This is all window-dressing. That a college "has to" admit a legacy is a function of its own financial mismanagement rather than a deep source of unfairness. Attacking legacies is a distraction -- the man behind the curtain is really bloated administrations and a tuition bubble that won't last forever. But let's focus on a symptom so we can feel virtuous in the meantime. [/quote] Why won’t it last forever? So long as credential crazed parents exist, tuitions will keep going up. The only ways to get schools to reduce bloat and tuition is through public shaming and the threat of the loss of federal funds. Yet no politician does this. To the left, it would be seen as wrong to go after left leaning colleges. And the right loves its banks. It’s a racket.[/quote]
