Concerning the editorial, “The looks of fixing an issue,” (Feb. 25).
The absurd excuses put forth by the president of Connecticut Faculty, Katherine Bergeron, with respect to her opposition to “legacy admissions” are reprehensible. Bergeron claims that solely 147 of 8,900 candidates to the faculty have family who’re alumni. That declare is egregiously deceptive, as the true query the Connecticut legislature ought to search to have answered is, “What number of of those that have been admitted have family who’re alumni?”
In additional stating her opposition to legacy admissions, Bergeron claims “grave considerations” over enforcement of the invoice. However why is enforcement vital? Does Connecticut Faculty, which is in any other case presumably compliant with our legal guidelines, want oversight by regulation enforcement to behave in accordance with a regulation prohibiting legacy admissions?
