Columbia University President: Test Scores and Lack of Racial Preferences Exacerbate Inequality, Legacy Admissions Aren't the Problem

On Thursday's broadcast of MSNBC's "Andrea Mitchell Reports," Columbia University President Lee Bollinger argued that "it would be a misjudgment" to respond to the "tragedy" of the Supreme Court striking down racial preferences in college admissions by getting rid of legacy admissions, because doing so won't lead to more diversity, but standardized test scores "are a way of reinforcing inequality rather than overcoming it."
