Government even breaks apart private companies.

No not that simple. State and Federal law has to be based on something. State can't tell McDonalds to only serve blueberry pies not apple pies. They have no authority to do that unless they can point to some health and safety issue. Government breaks apart companies because of the antitrust laws.

Those private institutions get tax dollars, both directly and indirectly.

Federal money, yes. But state?

+1 already explained earlier in this thread. The privates receive state funds. If they don't want to follow the law they will have to forfeit the money.

What state money does Stanford get? Or USC?

Even if they do -- you cannot contition something unrelated to state or federal funds. The condition has to be about the grant of the money.

My earlier point stands where I do not begrudge legacy admissions or admission through donations because it helps my family- which at the end of the day is what we are all seeking to do... forwarding the best interests of our children.

Your kid should get $48k loan like my kid.
Uour kid is not special and no reason to be treated special.

The top universities don't offer loan-based financial aid. It's all grants. And it comes out of the enormous, multi-billion dollar endowments that these schools have. It's not Biff and Buffy that are supporting middle class students at Princeton and similar. It's generations of good investment decisions.

No one should be taking out loans to attend private universities.

Colleges should be smart enough to reject non donor legacies

yup. end of private financial aid at Ca privates. And tuition will be hiked over $100k per year next year.

I rather have equality and fairness especially in the education field just like everywhere else in the world.

Curious where this “everywhere else in the world” is, where money doesn’t talk?

well, to start, Oxbridge doesn't do legacies.

Well they say they do not that is true. But then why is every artisto kid with a pulse admitted? And they do have donors -- often not from UK -- whose kids go. US colleges are by far the best. [b] Oxbridge does not compare to even a top 50 US at the undergrad level.
