First gen students at elite universities (including Emory) favor elimination of legacy preferences

From the Washington Post:

“But as a group, low-income first gens have established a beachhead. They have claimed real estate (at Brown and Penn, literal centers) and are methodically labeling the barriers they wish to dismantle. As a group last year, they got top colleges to waive application fees without making students detail family hardships, which they found humiliating. Next up: Get elite colleges to eliminate legacy admissions.”
