HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: An Admissions Surprise From the Ivy League. The Ivy League perpetuates inequality. We need forceful and comprehensive government action to put an end to that. A tax on “excessive” endowments (at some point, you’ve raised enough money) a mandatory Common App with no add-ons for any schools receiving federal money, and a “test-score diversity” program requiring that students scoring in each quintile receive proportional admissions (“An Ivy League that looks like America”), etc. After all, inequality is our biggest problem, except maybe for climate change. And a problem that big requires the moral equivalent of war to solve. No more business as usual!
