Oh please. As if every school doesn’t show favoritism to the kids of big donors or wealthy alumni. This common practice somehow doesn’t taint the value of the graduates’ degrees
All colleges have certain spots "saved" for different groups and also quotas, now, for "certain people"; sadly.
Before you attempt to discuss any topic, you should ask yourself : "HOW MUCH DO I REALLY KNOW ABOUT THIS?"; then don't post a reply, if the answer id not much to nothing.
There actually was a time when no matter how rich some family was, donation or not, legacy place or not, with very few exceptions, kids did flunk out/get kicked out. The Kennedys are the exception to that rule!
Heck, even Al Gore Jr. was NOT accepted, at Vanderbilt, for the Masters program he originally chose.
Absolutely it taints those degrees.
And the stupidity twisting their thinking to ignore basic truths like this in people who might be able to perform differential equations in their heads or write a symphony has gotten the get of our university system to the point where it is the university graduates who believe and are attempting to convince others that some men have vaginas and some women have penises.
The stinking rot goes back a long ways, and only those entrenched in their own foul stink cannot smell it.
Your attempt to evade even the most rudimentary logic fails you sir, and has completely the opposite effect from your intent.
Those crew programs are very expensive and the boats need to be upgraded often. High schools around the country love to buy used university boats, losing this rich family as donors hurts the sport across the country.
