@visiblecare I need you to please reprovision my network.

At elite private #colleges, #legacies (kids of #alumni) are 33% more qualified but 300% more
likely to be admitted vs. similar #applicants w/same #SAT/#ACT test scores. 🤯https://t.co/wFKkmRWPBH #highered #inequality #wealth #RajChetty @OppInsights @Harvard @Yale @Princeton

[Scott Brenden, Ph.D. @globalodeon]

For applicants w/same #SAT/#ACT score, children from families in top 1% were 34% more likely to get admitted to an #IvyLeague #college. Those from top 0.1% were twice as likely to get in. https://t.co/0JuVIkYO6p #RajChetty #highered #inequality #admissions

Non-selective #college.s = engines of #mobility. Supporting them will do far more to advance the cause of racial #equality than @Harvard or @UNC. https://t.co/wYxEmRiO4T @mitchellatedf @qdbui #equity #AffirmativeAction #highered #race

.@usnews to drop some #college #rankings metrics favoring #wealthy #schools/#students: #alumni #giving, #faculty w/#terminaldegree, #classsize & HS standing. Keeping $/student, #salaries, %FT, stu-fac ratio. https://t.co/zyg4WmArLi @USNewsEducation #highered

.@usnews says it didn’t commit to a particular mathematical model for its new #rankings until @USNewsEducation ran simulations to see the outcomes, violating fundamental research standards. https://t.co/g3T1mt0Mbv #inequality #highered #HigherEducation

4/4 Top #universities should withdraw from activities like rankings, that are corrosive to #highered. By doing all this, they will fulfill their core mission of creating/preserving/disseminating #knowledge for the good of #society.

3/4 Elite #universities should tell their #government-relations teams to #lobby for #policies that benefit the sector. They sh challenge applying #antitrust legislation to limit cooperative action that helps #highered as a whole
