Antisemitism at the core of legacy admissions:

In the 1920s, recognizing that 20% of its student body was Jewish, Harvard chose to reevaluate its admission approach.

That’s how it all began. (Source: New York Daily News)

Supporters cite alumni loyalty and fundraising; critics see an inheritance of advantage. Whatever the intent, the symbolism collides with the ideal of equal opportunity. Among the Japanese students I’ve spoken with, the practice is nearly uniformly rejected.

A Quiet Rebellion

What if we redefined "merit"?
Not as test scores or school names, but as courage, creativity, and care.

Harvard, Princeton and MIT might still stand tall— but the gates would look different.

Harvard's Legacy Admissions:
A handhake louder than any essay.

U. of Tokyo's Exam Gatekeeper:
Mother's rice balls, quieter than any lecture, fuel the fight.

Handshake or gatekeeper --both wear the mask of merit.

Legacy Admissions:

Some students bring perfect SAT scores.
Others bring… their grandparents’ class rings.

Harvard says legacy doesn’t matter.
Funny how the dorms still look like high school reunions
for Andover and Exeter.

Examination hell, American style:
no cram school, no late-night bentos—
just a family crest and a handshake.

Rich Americans determined to maintain affirmative action program for themselves.

Stanford preserves legacy admissions by pulling out of Cal Grant aid program With three weeks to go before California’s ban on legacy and donor admissions takes effect at private universities that accept state money, Stanford is forgoing Cal Grants.

Stanford University lays off 363 employees but will turn down $3M in Cal Grant funding to continue to offer preferential treatment to wealthy children of alumni & donors. Unfortunately, this loophole was allowed by CA Sen Ed Comm last year. #Legacyadmissions

Per Dept. of Labor DEI stats, #Asians rank 3rd, Black ppl rank 7th, at the bottom.

ASIANS SHOULD HAVE TARGETED #legacyadmissions 😉

On affirmative action, Asian Americans got played (opinion) Let’s not get played again, OiYan Poon and Janelle Wong write.

#Asians acknowledge they got played on #affirmativeaction

Driven by a perception they are smarter, therefore, more deserving than Black, Latino, & Natives

So smart, they did not factor in White #legacyadmissions as their obstacle to Ivy League admissions #blacksky #politics

We should treat Legacy Admissions #LegacyAdmissions the way the French treated the Aristocracy. #EndLegacyAdmissions No more #Idiots running things. Aslo #Unions Unions bring Democracy #Democracy to the Workplace #Workplace We should force corporations to be profit-sharing with their workforce.

Black people have received the least from DEI initiatives. If it was based on meritocracy, many would not have the jobs they have today. #fairytales #legacyadmissions #slavery
