@skykiss Let's also talk, every time there is discussion about Affirmative Action, about the fundamental problem that there are not enough slots for everyone who is qualified and wants to go to those colleges.

And before anyone says, "Those students can go to public universities - but there's only so many slots at Harvard and Yale", remember that one of the two cases decided yesterday gutted Affirmative Action program at a public North Carolina state uni.

Maybe we should be talking about expanding colleges and building some new public universities (or upgrading some existing community colleges to full Unis).

But also, it's well known that going to elite colleges will position you to make a bit more money and get better jobs, when hiring managers see that you graduated from an elite college, and going to elite colleges grants you access to elite fraternities/sororities/honor societies, and other networking opportunities.
