	CNN.com - Are legacy college admissions racist? - Mar. 5, 2003
		Legacy preferences became popular in the 19th century as a way of keeping alumni fathers happy and limiting the number of Jewish applicants.
		Legacy preferences are "extremely important, particularly now when the state just doesn't have the resources to help with everything we do," Virginia's dean of undergraduate admissions, John A. Blackburn.
		Because legacy preferences are not by definition based on race, they are not subject to the same legal review as affirmative action.

	The Wall Street Journal Classroom Edition
		The legacy preference, as it is known, is nearly as widespread as those based on race and ethnicity.
		Now, calls to abandon the legacy preference are on the rise from minority groups and others who see it as perpetuating class distinction and white advantage.
		Because it isn't racially discriminatory on its face, the legacy preference may be less vulnerable to legal challenge than affirmative action is. Politically, though, the fates of the two preferences appear intertwined.

	The Daily Princetonian - No need to end legacy preferences
		Preference is given to alumni children only et ceteris paribus, never to the exclusion of more qualified non-legacy candidates.
		Contrary to popular characterizations, not all alumni are rich, and proponents of legacy preference do not expect a one-to-one financial return for each admit helped by his legacy status, since the school does not tell families whether their legacy status had any affect on their admissions results.
		Showing slight preference to legacy applicants in admissions limbo is a moral means to a moral end.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: College Preferences by Race, Sex and Legacy Status by John Perazzo
		But it must be pointed out that in practicing such sex-based preferences in the admissions process, schools are compelled neither to delve deep into the pool of female applicants, nor to admit large numbers of women who are far less qualified than many men who are rejected.
		Critics of this practice rightfully point out that such legacy preferences are, like racial preferences, based not on what a student has accomplished, but rather on whose child he or she happens to be — a mere accident of birth, not unlike skin color.
		For instance, among applicants with composite SAT scores of 1100 to 1199, some 22 percent of all legacies were accepted, versus 18 percent of all white applicants and 40 percent of all fl applicants.

	Nieman Watchdog > Ask This > Bush says he opposes 'legacy admissions;' how about asking once more, just to make sure?
		Bush, you said at the Unity conference of minority journalists that you are opposed to a person's legacy being a factor in admission to college.
		Five Supreme Court "justices or their children qualified for an admissions edge known as 'legacy preference,'" he wrote.
		Golden, whose series won the Pulitzer Prize for beat reporting in 2004 and the George Polk Award for excellence in journalism in 2003, also reported that, "Sons and daughters of graduates make up 10% to 15% of students at most Ivy League schools and enjoy sharply higher rates of acceptance.

	Roger Clegg on Racial Preferences & Alumni on National Review Online
		Racial and ethnic discrimination is, after all, morally very different from legacy preferences, and the social costs — the resentment, stigmatization, troubling precedent being set, and so forth — are much higher.
		It is also true that legacy preferences are generally less heavily weighted than racial and ethnic preferences, and that, even if the former were objectionable, they are perfectly legal and so no one can sue over them.
		For purposes of this discussion, I'm going to assume that legacy preferences have a disparate racial impact, but that they are not racially motivated.

	CampusProgress.org \| Missing on Affirmative Action
		It makes me wonder if it isn’t time for genuine advocates of equal opportunity to go on the offensive about the “huge college admissions advantages enjoyed by some privileged white students,” as Daniel Golden has highlighted both in his Wall Street Journal columns and in his recent book, The Price of Admission.
		In it, Golden points out that many college admission preferences “amount to nothing less than affirmative action for rich white people.” Lyndon Johnson said it best at Howard University in 1965, “You do not take a man who for years has
		The author says that affirmative action is needed in order to combat discrimination, yet it should be apparent that giving preferences to one group over another based on their race is discrimination in itself.
