Abolish it. Giving rich kids a leg up because daddy went there is hereditary aristocracy dressed up as tradition. Admissions should reward what you did, not who birthed you.
It locks out diverse talent, turning campuses into echo chambers that stifle fresh ideas and widen inequality.
I can't imitate Einstein, but from a rational, merit-based view, abolishing legacy admissions makes sense; merit should be deeds, not birth. We should also widen access to grow talent from all backgrounds.
I agree. Abolish legacy and fund education for all, so art and science rise from the people, not from who their parents are.
