[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is great. Even if this gets appealed down the line, it is now against the zeitgeist to have legacy admissions. Tide is turning and will turn elsewhere too. [/quote] Now that there have been more diverse admissions for decades, legacy doesn’t carry the weight anymore. Admissions have all the tools to identify connected families, from expensive sports to social networks, that relying on “legacy” isn’t even needed anymore. Read up on how they started promoting athletics when Jewish students started earning admissions on academic achievement. [/quote] Right of course legacy admissions are banned just as the pool of legacies is more diverse than ever.[/quote] This is what is absolutely insidious about the whole game. I have to believe this is by design.[/quote]
