[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's no way this would pass, right? Applies to any institution that participates in federal student aid programs, and includes the option of a waiver for HBCUs. Is that even constitutional?

Why would the Democrats do this juuuust at the point when increasing numbers of POC will start to benefit from legacy preferences? It's like they're determined to lose my (POC) vote.[/quote]

They should definitely do it. As it stands now, the only legacies who get preference are major donor families. So get rid of all monetary/developmental/celeb preferences in admissions. [/quote]
That’s not true at all. Most schools give a legacy preference to any student whose parent attended the school, regardless of whether the parent ever donated. Development/major donor families are in a different, more favored box. [/quote]

Hahaha. So wrong. Your kid isn't getting in just because you won't went there.   You've gotta fork over some cash every year.   The more the better![/quote]
