A new study in the aftermath of the Supreme Court’s ruling on affirmative action on the collegiate level has found that legacy students are four times more likely to be admitted into the nation’s top universities.
on the collegiate level has found that legacy students are four times more likely to be admitted into the nation’s top universities.
A research group at Harvard conducted an analysis of a dozen elite schools — including the Ivy Leagues, Stanford, and the University of Chicago — and determined that, among applicants with similar test scores, legacy applicants were far more likely to be accepted into the school their parents attended than those whose parents didn’t. As previous studies uncovered, seven in 10 legacy students are white.found that “legacy applicants from the top 1% have more than a 5-fold advantage in admissions.
“The legacy advantage does not transfer across colleges,” the authors of the Opportunity Insights study wrote. “The children of alumni of a given Ivy-Plus have no higher chance of being admitted to other Ivy-Plus colleges , indicating that legacy status does not simply proxy for other unobservable credentials that lead to higher admissions rates.”

Biden's dog Commander has bitten Secret Service officers 10 times in four months, records showPresident Joe Biden 's dog Commander bit or otherwise attacked Secret Service personnel at least 10 times between October 2022 and January, including one incident that required a hospital visit by the injured law enforcement officer, according to records from the Department of Homeland Security. The conservative watchdog group Judicial Watch on Tuesday released nearly 200 pages of Secret Service records that it obtained through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit. The group said it filed suit after the agency, a division of DHS, “failed to respond adequately” to its request last December for records about biting incidents involving the purebred German shepherd. The group said it filed the request after receiving a tip about Commander's behavior.
