I feel like this is being over thought. Making a donation to a university is certainly a direct way to apply money to the process, but we already see that through additional factors. You’ve got private K-12 schools that give many people a leg up, but even the best public schools have a similar effect through zoning. You want to get your child into a better public school, you move to a home that’s zoned for it. The homes zoned for the best schools? Well they are more expensive. That’s not even factoring in tutors, SAT prep or even just well educated parents who give their children additional support at home. I tend to agree with the idea that it’s happening no matter what. It’s just a matter of whether we choose to acknowledge it and let it benefit others.
