The affirmative action supporters do have one point, though for obvious reasons they don’t dwell on the topic. There’s always been affirmative action for the offspring of the wealthy and powerful.
The only thing is the children of the wealthy and powerful usually do a lot better in school than aa students. The wealthy and powerful usually got that way by being smarter than other people. They usually pass that intelligence to their children. You might have a better chance of getting admitted if your parents are wealthy, but you still have to do the work when you get there.
Not in any University I would run. But, that’s just me. Since I will never run a university, it’s a moot point.
