The naughty list might actually work if they were required to report a demographic breakdown of the legacy admission as well. It would probably be extremely bad PR to point out 93% of students given a free entry pass were white.
- WillPostForFood 2y agoStanford 2023 incoming class was 23% white, so the change in legacy policy will primarily impact future non-white children of non-white Stanford graduates. This is a win for fairness, not much more. https://facts.stanford.edu/academics/undergraduate-profile/ https://facts.stanford.edu/academics/undergraduate-profile/
- IncreasePosts 2y agoSure, but based on when college educated people have their first child on average, the average legacy admitted student in 2024 probably has a parent that graduated in the mid-90s.
- WillPostForFood 2y agoI don't when Stanford started being majority non-white, but at least 20 years ago, and probably in the 90s. It was 41% white in 2006. Whenever the date was, it is a benefit that is been accruing to mostly non-White graduates for a long time, and about the time they get to use it, it is gone. It is good for fairness, but don't know that race should even be a part of the winner/loser discussion.
