In a troubling pattern of elitism, 17 prestigious universities have come under legal scrutiny for allegedly prioritizing wealthy applicants over more deserving, lower-income students in their admissions process.
The plaintiffs, former students at these institutions, accuse the remaining colleges of colluding to limit financial aid while granting unfair admissions advantages to the children of affluent donors.
One eye-opening allegation involves a list drawn up by Georgetown’s president, which reportedly featured nearly 80 applicants whose parents had contributed financially, despite lacking academic merit.
The suit highlights communications between a former Georgetown president and the family of an applicant at an elite conference, raising concerns about the integrity of the admissions process.
