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.

Politicians including President Biden have spoken out against the practice and polls also show that the public does not support legacy admissions. A Pew Research Center survey last year found that 75% of those surveyed believed legacy status should not be a factor in college admissions.

Some highly selective universities and colleges have dropped legacy admissions, including Amherst, Johns Hopkins, Carnegie Mellon and M.I.T.

The decision by Wesleyan, which has about 3,200 undergraduates, could be easier than for other colleges, like Harvard or Yale, which have a higher share of legacy admits.
