Today, nearly all selective private universities and some public universities give an edge to legacies, largely to boost alumni giving.So, they're bashing A&M for doing something that is pretty routine.

"That's a lot of kids being advantaged because A&M is where mommy and daddy went,"I guess it never crossed his mind that some of them might not be able to pass the ENGLISH test.

For some reason the Houston Chronicle is very anti-A&M.

So, they're bashing A&M for doing something that is pretty routine. But just because everyone's doing it doesn't make it right. I was the first in my family to go to college, and while I understand the university's position with regards to squeezing more money out of alumni, I find legacy admissions to be nothing but aristocracy.
