I think you are failing to distinguish individual elements of the universities you are commenting on. Administration and faculty are very different people. Admin need faculty for prestige, but faculty need admin for funding. Are a majority of prominent faculty members advocating for legacy admissions?

You’re implying that there’s some crypto-right-wing people somewhere in the university and that these people are solely responsible for legacy admissions, but you’re not even willing to state this absurd implication, let alone provide any evidence for it.

I'm not implying anything. I am forwardly stating that you are generalizing a very diverse group of institutions.

I think the thing to understand is that university professors are upper middle class.

They are not particularly aligned with the working class or with leftism. They're usually centrists or liberals.

I think your confusions stems from believing that liberals are the left. Liberals however, are pro-free trade ultra-propertarians. Liberals are to the right of anti-free trade populists.

Your “no true Scotsman” argument is tedious and irritating. Please stop annoying me with it.

It's a no-true-Scotsman argument. Things have definitions.

How can you say that they are leftists, when they do not fit the common definitions and you refuse to provide your own?
