When 50% of their admits are legacy (ie rich ppl) this is even worse. Does this institution deserve any USG grant money?

- __rito__ 3y agoIsn't that for undergraduate admissions? Correct me if I am wrong.
- WillPostForFood 3y ago30% of those admitted to Harvard each year are recruited athletes, legacies, relatives of donors and children of faculty and staff. Legacies are a subset of that 30%. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/25/us/politics/harvard-admissions-civil-rights-inquiry.html https://www.nytimes.com/2023/07/25/us/politics/harvard-admis...
- nceqs3 3y ago50% of the Harvard class are not legacy. It's nowhere close to that number. Of course Harvard (one of the best universities in the world) deserves USG grants.

- jibe 3y agoLegacy is closer to 15% of the class. You might be confusing the number with Legacy+Athlete+Faculty+Donor?
