Daniel Friedman(@DanFriedman81):When college admissions are highly subjective and admissions officials have a lot of discretion, the rich and powerful who donate to universities can use their influence to get their kids and their friends’ into schools and also to keep people they don’t like out. College admissions committees should be disbanded and colleges should admit students based on an algorithm.
