[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Legacies keep the alumi donation pipeline full. With no legacies donations would plummet. It is that simple. [/quote] There's no evidence of this: an alternative hypothesis is that legacy boosts lead to admissions of kids who wouldn't have been admitted were it not for the legacy boost, thereby perpetuating the supremacy of otherwise less than stellar kids. And maybe one of the kids who would have been admitted, if selection were fully merit based would be the next billionaire who could keep college coffers full.[/quote]
