I hope this article is right and liberals really do take aim at legacy admissions.
I wish they'd also take aim at athletics admissions. How does being a good athlete make one a better scholar? This is discrimination against the unathletic.

It's pretty obvious that this his how colleges will get around the Students v. Harvard decision and continue the affirmative action.

The personal essay will now become the single most important part of the application.

A black person writes some barely credible claim that they…
