[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our family is not a big donor, so really no skin in the game. That said, is any one concerned states are overreaching into private schools? How can a state mandate a private universities admissions process? What’s next? Making private universities be non-religious? Or making sure a private school accepts so many first gen students?[/quote] I'm not worried about that and don't think it's overreaching since CA government does provide some state benefits to private colleges. But even if they didn't, it feels warranted. Also, legacy boosts have come under fire and feel more icky than affirmative action, which has now been struck down. There is no way legacy can remain at private colleges that want to attract progressive, egalitarian students including diverse students. Legacy is one of the most obvious bastions of prejudice (i.e. students whose parents went to top colleges can make it easier for their kids to take a spot).[/quote]
