That would make sense if the talk about getting rid of legacy admissions only started in the last month. But it pretty obviously hasn't, it's been a discussion topic for as long as I can remember. I'll grant that it's being talked about more but even that is hardly surprising: affirmative action was struck down because it was deemed unfair to give some applications a boost over other applicants. Yet legacy admissions is exactly that and continues. It's hypocrisy and I don't think it's particularly surprising people point it out.
