'admissions officers then fine-tune the final class using a form that lists five pieces of information about the applicant; they give an example of a form that has spaces for the applicant’s name, LIN (lineage), ETH (ethnicity), ATH (athlete), and HFAI (financial aid).'
It's undeniably racism.
I wonder what the outcome would be if one or two Ivies stick their necks out and institute race blind, legacy blind admissions.
