I'm not sure I agree with this, only because it's a private university. Public, no question, ban legacy admissions. But private? Maybe goes a step too far.

- paxys 2y agoStanford received $1.82 billion in public funding in 2023 for research alone. The "private" in its name is meaningless. Top private universities in the country receive as much or more government support than state schools.
- isatty 2y agoFor research. That’s not welfare. Research funding is a merit and application based process with multiple reviewers. This is the same for every university or professor.
- asadotzler 2y agoThe school can take 60% of that as an administrative fee. It is absolutely welfare.
- refurb 2y agoSo any private organization that accept public funding should be regulated as if it were public? So if you're running a startup, and you accept a government grant, you should be treated as a public company?
- specialist 2y agoYup. Quid pro quo.
- asadotzler 2y agoYes. Are you serious? Surely you're being silly here.
- imzadi 2y agoWhat if it is just removing state funding from those schools?
