☆ The bad math behind Harvard's refusal to do away with legacy admissions
  + stars: | 2023-10-09 | by ( Ayelet Sheffey | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +14 min
By clinging to legacy admissions, colleges are not only undermining claims of advancing equality but may be shooting themselves in the financial foot. 'A weak and sad excuse'The legacy preference has always been a dance of public intentions and private subtext. While the rationales for preserving legacy admissions have evolved, the propensity to obfuscate them hasn't. Harvard's massive $50 billion endowment makes it pretty clear: the school doesn't need to keep legacy admissions anymore. When Wesleyan announced it was dropping legacy admissions Roth was adamant that it was the right move.

Journal Editorial Report: Colleges vow to keep race a factor in admissions. Images: AP/Getty Images/Zuma Press Composite: Mark KellyIn my 38 years teaching at Harvard, I have only twice met members of Harvard’s governing boards, both at dinners. It turned out to be a conversational gambit allowing him to let slip that his ancestors had come over on the Mayflower. That was rattling enough for a young professor, but what surprised me even more was his follow-up remark. He confessed sadly that his son’s generation would be the first in his family not to serve Mother Harvard.

☆ A Simple Way the Republican House Can Combat the Woke Left
  + stars: | 2023-01-14 | by ( James Hankins | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Now that Republicans control the House, what can they do to regain Americans’ trust in government? We already know what the Republican House plans to do. It is going to investigate. It is going to investigate the withdrawal from Afghanistan, the administration’s handling of the border crisis, and the origins of the Covid-19 pandemic. It may even investigate the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
