“It's not like people are going to stop donating BC the school is now more fair about its admissions," Richard Sugarman from @HartfordPromise said. "Schools are still going to admit students. Schools are still going to raise lots of $. Endowments will... grow.” #legacypreference
Need to ban #legacypreference in CT after #SFFA. "If we're eliminating one weight that was supposed to be a benefit to students of color, it makes sense to also eliminate this other weight that provides an advantage to white + wealthy kids.”

.@HartfordPromise testifying with Promise Scholars about the impact of this decision: "Preference has not gone away with this #affirmativeaction ruling... It has only gone away for students of color. It has NOT gone away for the wealthy, for legacy, or for athletes."
