Tradies can do well financially, but they're not the ones who are going to end up setting policy for the next generation. We have a lot of data that shows us it's specifically Ivy Leaguers who will do that, actually - they are massively overrepresented in public and private leadership positions. Are you going to tell me that if the shoe was on the other foot and the Ivy League was like 90% conservatives, you wouldn't be concerned about the direction this is going to send things? I think that's the point the person who responded to you was trying to make, the elite class which leads the country, makes the laws etc. should be reflective of the people it governs (that has been a core liberal tenet of the civil rights movement for many years). I don't want a one party system regardless of which party it ends up being. Universities train our future leaders and they need to be politically inclusive.
