END LEGACY ADMISSION
"LEGACY" APPLICANTS, MEANING THE CHILDREN OF ALUMNI, ARE MORE LIKELY THAN OTHER APPLICANTS TO BE WHITE AND WEALTHY.
APPROXIMATELY 78%
COME FROM THE TOP 10% OF HOUSEHOLD INCOMES. AND ACCORDING TO A 2019 STUDY, AT HARVARD
7 OUT OF 10
WERE WHITE.
YET, THEY ENJOY A
MAJOR ADVANTAGE
IN "ELITE" COLLEGE ADMISSIONS.
AT "ELITE" SCHOOLS, THEY'RE
MORE THAN 3 TIMES
AS LIKELY TO BE ADMITTED THAN EQUALLY QUALIFIED PEERS.
CLASS ACTION ORGANIZERS AT BROWN, STANFORD, HARVARD, GEORGETOWN, CORNELL, COLUMBIA, PRINCETON, AND YALE ARE STEERING OUR CAMPAIGN TO END LEGACY ADMISSIONS.
