Very proud that @JohnsHopkins has just abolished legacy admissions.
As Ron Daniels argues, this is "necessary if American universities are to fulfill their democratic promise to be ladders of mobility for all."
So @harvard, @princeton, @Yale: Will you, too, do the right thing?

@JohnsHopkins @Harvard @Princeton @Yale Here, by the way, is Ron Daniels' clear, compelling, measured case for abolishing legacy admissions in my favorite magazine section: @TheAtlIdeas at @TheAtlantic.

@JohnsHopkins @Harvard @Princeton @Yale @TheAtlIdeas @TheAtlantic Question for the lawyers:
What leverage does the federal government have to stop universities from offering legacy admissions? Could federal funding be made to depend on *not* offering legacy admissions?
Because, if so, Democratic candidates should clearly embrace that policy.
