In the decades-long effort to resolve the conflict between Israelis and Palestinians, it has seemed to many like the least flawed among many imperfect ideas: the two-state solution. It would create an independent Palestinian state, made up of Gaza and the West Bank, that would exist alongside Israel. The goal has become official policy of most governments around the world and has been the basis for peace talks for years. That said, some faith in the idea somehow persists, even amid the worst fighting in the history of the conflict. In recent days, President Biden and his counterparts in Britain, France and elsewhere have newly championed the two-state solution as the best path toward peace.

A lot of people have recently weighed in on legacy admissions, the preferential treatment given to the children of alumni in the college application process: President Biden. Officials at numerous colleges — some defending the practice, others calling to ditch it. The Education Department even opened a civil rights investigation last month into Harvard University’s legacy admissions policy. But what about the students who have benefited from the practice themselves, and were accepted by elite colleges in part because their parents are alumni? In the Opinion Video above, five recent university graduates, all legacies, wrestle with the advantages they enjoyed in the college admissions process.
