>there's always going to be competition for the best.

Agreed but surely we could come up with a form of competition more fair than something which heavily favors the wealthy and/or familial alumni.

From what I've read, the alternative they've come up with is favoring certain ethnic backgrounds over others. But the courts are currently not favoring that approach. So they may have to go back to looking at grades and test scores.
