[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We disagree that legacy is a bad thing.  We have no problem with it.  If family members have a history and heritage of attending and supporting a school then that [i]should[/i] be rewarded in the admissions process, especially private schools.

FWIW we have 4 kids in college.  Our kids do NOT go to our Big 10 school and instead go to 3 different Ivies where, obviously, they didn't receive any preferential admissions treatment since they are not legacies.  [/quote]

That's a fair point.

One the NYT should appreciate as they continue to be managed by one same legacy family since the 19th Century.[/quote]

Isn’t the NYT a privately owned business? Are you suggesting that a privately owned business should not be allowed to choose their own management team?
How would that be done?

Nope, the NYT is a public company, same as Exxon or Apple.

The funny thing is that a public company run by a legacy family is telling private universities they should not use legacy as a criteria...[/quote]
