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.

A group of Democrats revived a bill to ban legacy admissions across colleges. It comes after the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions. And it's not a form of affirmative action that serves our country well." Following the decision, legacy admissions practices entered a harsh spotlight. Some prestigious schools have already ended their legacy admissions practices.

A fost cea mai tânără dintre surorile Soong și și-a lăsat amprenta în mod decisiv asupra „lungului” secol XX chinez. Avem în față unul din acele destine extraordinare și o femeie considerată, la un moment dat, cel mai important om din Asia. Vreme de mai multe decenii, a fost prima doamnă a republicii conduse de liderul naționaliștilor Guomindang, autor al unificării chineze. S-a căsătorit cu acesta în pofida opoziției familiei Soong și a faptului că-i separau douăzeci și șapte de ani. În acea viziune, vechea Chină era problema și Chiang Kai-shek, „salvatorul”, era cel care trebuia s-o modernizeze.
