Does it matter if you're paying for it?
Look, I'm European and I just cannot see the issue here. I'm all for government providing excellent public education, but if a private university does admission on whatever metric (unless it's discriminating for illegal, such as race, reasons) so be it?
If somebody's shelling millions funding a university, don't see a problem with enrolling his son.

Private universities can exempt themselves from this law by not accepting state dollars, but I don't think donors can fill the resulting hole. > If somebody's shelling millions funding a university, don't see a problem with enrolling his son. The state shells more. A lot more, and is leveraging that so that mere-multi-million-dollar-donors-offspring don't get an advantage over non-donors (eventually. The lawmaker is cleverly taking a tick-tock ratcheting approach where each law builds on top of the last)
- epolanski 2y agoMaybe universities should compromise with the state and be able to assign a certain quota (10% idk) for such individuals.
- sangnoir 2y agoWhy? Are these universities facing challenges with funding their humongous endowments? Or is so that every generation of peasants pays the social debt they owe to their betters?
