Opinion

This week, the Editorial Board found a topic of discussion we couldn’t agree on: What makes Amherst admissions inequitable? As a result, we introduce “Behind the Board: The Editorial Board on Amherst Admissions,” a new Opinion series that will present individual, and often opposing, commentary from members of the Editorial Board on such topics as athletic recruitment, standardized testing and legacy admissions. We debut the series with the latter topic: Should Amherst College abolish the consideration of legacy in the admissions process?
