[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why exactly is the goal..for some …social mobility flipping, ie downward mobility for wealthy white boys and maybe girls, and then upward social mobility for other groups? [b]Or is the goal here to make universities 80% Asian with a small portion of seats open to the rest of the country? [/b] Legacy donors are an income stream for universities. Do you really expect legacy families to keep giving money so other kids can attend in place of their kid? If your kid was crushed that he/she didn’t get into the family legacy school despite having top stats and achieving everything they could within their agency as a teenager, would you happily write a big fat check so a kid who was less wealthy but not necessarily more qualified could attend? I don’t think so. [/quote] Do you think we are trying to set aside 80% of the seats for asians or are you saying you simply don't want your kids to compete with asian kids? [/quote]
