Money and tradition are among the obstacles to college-admissions reform, former Amherst College president said.
Elite colleges and universities give admissions preference to wealthy students, new research has found, and while reforms could promote socioeconomic diversity on elite campuses, experts say that is easier said than done.
The reaction to the Supreme Court decision last month striking down affirmative action shows that these institutions have a “genuine interest in diversity,” Chetty added, but the question is how to achieve it. Relative attendance rates at elite schools for students from those groups are the lowest, according to the research.
Carolyn “Biddy” Martin, a former president of Amherst College who oversaw the end of legacy admissions at the institution, agreed with the researchers, but she said that tradition and money often prevent administrators from making those kinds of changes.
