Critics say Trump’s push for fairness in college admissions is leaving out legacy preferences

So only the very wealthiest can afford to send kids to college.
Like only the wealthiest can afford shoes, or clothes, or a car, or food?

You Communists are so dumb. If colleges price it so only the very wealthy can afford to go - they lose 99% of their customers. Right now, the American taxpayer is picking up the tab so they can charge what they want. Maybe Harvard can survive serving only the Oligarchy - but not many schools can.
 
Oh. No... What will the legacy morons do if they can't get into Harvard because they were too stupid to study?
What is fascinating about Harvard, and similar schools, is they accept some people who are not the best(but have rich ancestors), and then graduate them. If you get into Harvard undergraduate, and put any effort in, you will graduate. I think the graduation rate is something like 90%, and it is only not 100% because some students decide to go elsewhere.

Graduate degrees are different, but graduating from Harvard is like graduating from high school. If you can't graduate from high school, something is going wrong in your life.

Harvard, and similar schools, are about giving he future powerful students the best education they can take. Harvard gives power to its alumni, because it draws power from its alumni. It has been doing a fantastic job at this for nearly 400 years. Oxford has been doing the same for nearly a thousand years. The western liberal education system has been doing a fantastic job for almost 3,000 years.

And now trump thinks he can do a better job at this? If nothing else, that is arrogance.
 
trump wants more white children of privilege in Harvard, and we all know it.
Wrong, NRW.

President Trump wants Harvard to stop the assaults and intimidation of Jewish students to stop.

Why do you hate white children, NRW?

That’s racist and unattractive, NRW.
 
Yet the Republican president’s critics — and some allies — are questioning his silence on admissions policies that give applicants a boost because of their wealth or family ties. While he has pressed colleges to eliminate any possible consideration of a student’s race, he has made no mention of legacy admissions, an edge given to the children of alumni, or similar preferences for the relatives of donors.

So you want the kid of a rich White parent alumni like Hunter to be admitted over preferentially over an exceptionally smart poor Black student?
