NYT calls for an end to legacy college admissions

I went to B.U. on almost a full-ride scholarship back in 2000 (they charged the riches full price of $30k/yr to subsidize us somewhat-intelligent poors).

$18k of debt when I got out.

I desperately want legacy college admissions to end since I have no intention of paying $60k/yr for my kiddos to go to college. Here in NE, UMass is a perfectly good alternative, and I’ve interviewed more college recruits from that system who put “legacy” kids to shame when it comes to technical ability.
