A letter against legacy admissions leaves Penn's first-gen., low-income students divided

Penn is now $72,000 a year. I suspect that legacy admits are “full pay” in greater percentage than any other discrete group of students on campus. I further suspect that first gen admits require a significantly higher percentage of need-based aid than their peers. If true, legacy tuition is subsidizing the first gen tuition. Moreover, it is pretty much accepted that legacy alums (and their families). donate at a higher rate than their peers across the board. So, the legacies are further subsidizing the first gens through donations to the endowment.
