Arguably many of those legacy students provide more upward mobility to their peers via culture and opportunity than the middle management jobs those peers will graduate into. Let's say for a moment efforts like this manage to succeed at removing all cultural advantages, on what basis should students and people in general compete, and on what principles should communities organize themselves? It's as though nobody has asked what qualities policies like this optimize for. Equality is what you have when you remove distinguishing qualities, so that's not really the thing. Justice presumes a crime, which kids have not committed. To me it seems like a cynical gesture aimed at destroying wealth instead of creating opportunity.
