Why is that a problem? I can buy a seat in a stadium. I can buy a seat in a private high school or parochial school. Why should colleges be different?
Bu it all you want from a private institution.
I meant to say BUY it. Either way, the argument is about people getting into universities on pure merit then legacies like every other 'edge' goes against that argument and isn't legitimate. A private institution can do whatever it wants.
