Let me tell you a tale from when I was going to college.
The school I was attending decided in my last year that it was no longer doing "need-blind" admissions. There was a minor uproar, but of course it went through.
So... you're saying the school will preferentially let in richer students to the organization if they can? You know, two applications being allegedly equal?
I leave it as an exercise to the reader how much objectivity on "equal applications" when one of the students basically is 10x richer (and parents that might donate), when you have to see how well affirmative action with "equal applications" has worked to get minorities into white collar jobs.
Of course what the college was doing was probably formalizing what it was doing anyway. Why would it do that?
Ohhhh,,, right, lets do way more egregious pay-for-admission that "pick the richer between equals". Right.
Then a decade later, I noticed all these chinese nationals on universitites, and the students said they were a bit of a headache because they were so obnoxiously rich.
Oh! The colleges figured out how to kill two birds with one stone: a rich foreigner is a minority AND rich! So they would coddle these scions as much as possible.
