[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The universities, whether they are public or private, should stop preferential admissions to legacies, athletes, donors’ children, celebrities’ children.[/quote]

OP - isn’t that more of a thing for privates such as a Harvard who want to make sure alumni keep on donating?

My understanding is that athletic recruits usually have strict rules for maintaining a decent GPA.  Is that not the case?

I have never heard of doctor’s children getting preferential treatment - just that many people no longer want to practice medicine due to all the political and insurance company interfering in their work.

Agree that donors’ children should not get preferential admissions but that will probably never go away for privates …

Federal government should grow balls and tell these privates to either be eligible to receive research funds and treat all applicants equally or continue giving preferential admissions and not receive Federal research funds.  Let’s see if the privates, such as Harvard, have steel balls and forego Federal research funds and thereby lose famous research faculty and smart PhD students to public universities in order to continue with their preferential admissions.[/quote]
