Conservatives rightfully criticize race-based Affirmative Action policies. But with a new report exposing the prevalence and injustice of athletic and legacy-based admissions at top universities like Harvard, it’s time we add legacy admissions as a target of our outrage, too.

An academic paper titled “Legacy and Athlete Preferences at Harvard” examined the prevalence and implications of legacy-based admissions. As Robert VerBruggen makes clear in his analysis of the paper for National Review, legacy admissions pose a bigger problem than we may have realized and they essentially amount to Affirmative Action for rich white people.
