Why I support legacy admissions in universities
Recently, Governor Glenn Younkin signed a bill banning legacy admissions in public universities in Virginia. Legacy admissions refer to giving preferential treatment to university applicants with familial connections to former students or donors.
There seems to be a growing, bipartisan rejection of legacy admissions. The law passed unanimously in the Virginia House and Senate. How often do you hear that in these polarized times? And Virginia is the second state after Colorado to ban the practice. I suspect there will be many more.
