Don’t miss that the effect on athletes is quite a bit larger than the effect on legacies! See page 4.

Legacy admissions are indefensible, but athletic admissions are even less so. (Less than 0, I guess?)

No one outside of Harvard cares how their fencing team does and (I presume) 99% of current Harvard students don’t either.

If you want to find the group that is most unjustly benefitted by a dumb feature of the admissions process it’s in my view athletes.
