5 thoughts on “Sen. Todd Young to take on alumni, donor college admissions—without stepping on religious toes

  1. The proposed legislation by Sens. Young and Kaine are commendable, but exempting religious schools from the same rules every other college and university must abide by makes no sense.

    Why should they be allowed to
    promoted and accept legacy admissions when no other schools can? What is there about a religious school’s existence makes them so special they get a pass?

    And don’t tell me that it is a matter matter of “church and state separation” because these schools are not churches. They are first money machines and second places of learning, not remarkably different from Purdue or Indiana University.

    The same rules should apply to all, without exception.

    1. I understand the desire to not make (say) a Catholic university accept atheists if they choose. I also don’t understand how your faith based values can say “you can buy your way in” but maybe Martin Luther had less impact than I thought.

      I understand the appeal of allowing legacy admits because that money allows you to keep costs lower elsewhere. Look at what Purdue and IU did when they faced reduced funding from Indiana; they went and took more profitable students to make up the difference.

  2. On what basis does the govt. tell a private institution who they can take? Can we see where this will go once a precedent is set? Would Brent B argue for the acceptance of Nazi, Hamas, and Hezbollah supporters to Brandeis and Yeshiva? Probably.

    1. If the private institution wants to take public funds, those funds can come with strings attached. They’re under no obligation to take those funds. There’s no gun to their head to take them. They know the deal going in.

      No different than a big donor offering to write a check to a school but insisting they get a building named after them.

    2. Notre accepts federal funding for a variety of purposes. It is less “private” than you might think.
