| Abstract | Legacy preferences compound existing inequalities by providing admissions benefits to the already enormously advantaged population of largely white, affluent, and privileged children of alumni- exactly the population that is already most likely to attend selective institutions. Because so few legacies are black or Latino, legacy policies have a disparate negative impact on these "wrong ancestor" students. [...] contributors Chad Coffman, Tara O'Neil, and Brian Starr present statistical analyses that cast doubt on the causal claim that legacy preferences lead to increased levels of alumni donations: while institutions employing legacy preferences do see higher levels of giving, the relationship can be explained entirely by the wealth of the admitted students. |
