[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I understand that elite colleges need the donation from rich families so that the tuition will not go even higher and they can provide financial aid to students from lower income families. The colleges have to give the rich families the perch in order to benefit the ordinary folks. This is fine to me and it may be necessary. Someone suggested to offer a certain percentage of admission spots for highest bidding. The transaction is open and transparent, no one will feel shamed of anything.

For the rest of the applicants, it's a fair competition. They should submit all their application materials without mentioning their race, and their names are redacted from reviewers. Evaluate applicants purely from merits (school transcripts, tests, recommendation letters, ec, essays, verifiable achievements, etc). How about that? Then no one should complain about discrimination.

Why not auction off a set number of slots to the highest bidder for each class? Transparent and better for fundraising! [/quote]
