Which is why the President got into Yale based upon its "legacy admissions policy."

That's one of those 'two wrongs make a right' arguments, isn't it?

Yale is a privately funded institution of higher learning, with an endowment in excess of $10 billion. Since Yale receives no public funding, they have every right to create their own admission policy and standards. The University of Michigan is a publically funded institution that uses tax payer dollars and is held to a different set of standards.
