Slots for legacies (esp. alumni that donate A LOT of money) will never go away. People do not donate a building or whatever out of the kindness of their hearts anymore (if they ever did).

The same goes for minorities. The people who are in administration will want minorities in order to give the appearance of a diverse student body(ethnically). Even if AA is banned. This will never change because academia is ruled by liberals.

Admission criteria is very subjective. If you get rid of the scoring system like at University of Michigan then the biases given to minorities, alumni, athletes, etc. become less transparent. That is where subjectivity/biases come on and that is wrong because admissions officers know that they have to do what their administration wants.

Also note that you don't have to donate money to get alumni points at schools such as U of Michigan, you just have to have alumni in your family.
