Just like discrimination laws.
There will be a lot of law suits if they still practice the discrimination.

They should ban forcing you to mark race and legacy status on college applications just like job applications.

https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/legacy-preference-new-york-colleges-universities-cornell/

This is a news on cbsnews about collges/universities.

Any reason to delete this thread???

I think things will eventually go to the right directions getting rid of preferences on Legacy and URM.
