re: #388 Obdicut

Only 6% in his quite small study did. But “It only happens at a rate of 6%” doesn’t mean that it’s a red herring. It just means it’s uncommon.

What are you talking about? What punishment?

The argument being made is “legacy students are the same as white AA” and that’s not the case. If you disallow a university to consider whether a family has previously supported the school out of a mistaken sense of fairness, you’re punishing both the student and the university.

There are a lot of issues the university can take into consideration that don’t include race or sex. If you want a well-rounded student body tie applications to income and zip code.
