Did you read my post? Legacy admission was started at Harvard as a means of ethnic discrimination. Before then, a large percentage of students at Harvard were Jewish because they ignored the social convention that only the elites applied to Harvard. When students are judged only on academic merit, nepotism is not an issue.
- justin66 8y agoOf course I read your post. I don't believe "judged only on academic merit" was ever how Harvard operated, and the IMO naive statement Students used to get accepted on academic merit alone was what I initially objected to. I'm not disagreeing with the point that that they might have engaged in some targetted anti-Semitic discrimination.
