23. A NICER WORD FOR NEPOTISM:
“LEGACY”
LEGACY ADMISSIONS IN SELECTIVE U.S. UNIVERSITIES SHOW A HIGH PROBABILITY OF
ADMITTING A LEGACY STUDENT. RESEARCH HAS FOUND THAT THE LIKELIHOOD OF
ADMISSION FOR A LEGACY STUDENT CAN BE AT LEAST THREE TIMES HIGHER THAN FOR A
NON-LEGACY STUDENT.
LEGACY STUDENTS, ON AVERAGE, HAVE LOWER GPAS COMPARED TO THOSE ADMITTED
THROUGH MERITOCRATIC MEANS​

25. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION:RACIAL
DISCRIMMINATION TO SOLVE PAST
RACIAL DISCRIMMINATION
THE TEXT EXPLAINS THAT WHILE THE EQUAL PROTECTION CLAUSE WAS NOT ORIGINALLY
INTENDED TO BAN ALL RACE-BASED CLASSIFICATIONS, U.S. SUPREME COURT RULINGS HAVE
MOVED TOWARDS A "COLOR-BLIND" APPROACH, FOCUSING ON PROHIBITING DISCRIMINATION
RATHER THAN PROMOTING SOCIAL INCLUSION OR EQUITY. AFFIRMATIVE ACTION IN U.S. HIGHER
EDUCATION PROVIDES A PREFERENTIAL BOOST TO DISADVANTAGED GROUPS, BUT THE
SUPREME COURT HAS EXPRESSED A DESIRE TO EVENTUALLY ELIMINATE RACIAL PREFERENCES
IN ADMISSIONS (AS SEEN IN GRUTTER V. BOLLINGER, 2003).
ALTHOUGH AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AIMS TO INCREASE DIVERSITY AND IMPROVE SOCIAL
MOBILITY, RESEARCH BY GREGG AND COLLEAGUES (2017) SHOWS THAT INTERGENERATIONAL
MOBILITY IN THE U.S. REMAINS LOW, RAISING DOUBTS ABOUT WHETHER ACCESS TO HIGHER
EDUCATION CAN SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE INEQUALITY, ESPECIALLY AS THE WEALTH GAP
CONTINUES TO GROW.

27. CONCLUSIONHigher education can both reinforce and challenge inequality, depending on various factors
such as access, affordability, and the societal structures around it.
Solution
Expanding early preparation programs, providing more financial aid can reduce economic
barriers.
In terms of affordability, policies like debt forgiveness, loan reforms, and better career
placement services are essential for creating equity.
