Even better would be to handle admissions blind, no name, no sex, no race, etc., just test scores, maybe activities and all if they are independently and consistently scoreable. Private schools should still have right to give preference to legacy applicants. All schools receiving federal money directly or indirectly should give absolute preference to US citizens.
I wonder if Dr. Ben Carson’s 400 scholarship offers were people trying to fulfill their obligation to reach cuotas. I doubt he used that ‘leverage’ that affirmative action gave to get him into Vanderbilt.
