NYT calls for an end to legacy college admissions

This is good, of course, but I’m afraid it will only take an official policy and make it an unofficial policy. Oliver Moneybags IV with a 25 on his ACT will still get into Harvard when daddy calls the right dean.

A better option is to keep legacy admissions, but put a Barry Bonds-style asterisk on their diploma and make it a federal felony to fail to disclose legacy admission status to any potential employers.
