     This is required by the recent SCOTUS decision AFAICT. Their arguments against affirmative action apply to legacy admissions as well. At least if they meant what they wrote.

     Can’t wait for the lawsuit against Harvard.

     @theothersimo @estelle4565 Indeed, just so. But the logic of the decision would seem to apply far more broadly. The thoughts underlying my post above are in this thread here: https://hachyderm.io/@inthehands/110630464229796803

     @estelle4565 @inthehands no, the Supreme Court outlawed preferential admissions programs that benefit black students without mentioning preferential admissions programs that benefit white students. The university is just applying their logic more generally.

     @inthehands I am not sure I understand, the court ordered them to ban all legacy admissions?
