The New York Times - Wesleyan University Ends Legacy Admissions

"Wesleyan University, a liberal arts college in Connecticut, is ending legacy admissions, which give a leg up to the children of alumni, just weeks after the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action.

After the Supreme Court decision, legacy admissions came under heavy attack because the practice tends to favor white, wealthy applicants over Black, Hispanic, Asian American and Native American students"

Here is alum and genius saying it was a bad idea to end the regulation that prevented bank from going under. But ended it. So it went under when shorted it and caused a run. Please regulate banks better. Also stop stock buybacks etc. Thanks.

For this week a beautiful domed glass ceiling from the lovely Grade II listed building Sheffield Victoria Hall.

Bizarre acoustically, but very beautiful.
