A coordinated effort at targeting nepotism and cronyism in university admissions would achieve this…

…l. A paper found that 43 percent of white students admitted to Harvard fell under the categories of recruited athletes, legacy students, and children of faculty and staff. That share also includes the “dean’s interest list,” which consists of applicants whose relatives made donations to the university. About 75% percent of those students would have been rejected on the strength of qualifications alone, which means about 32% of white students at Harvard are unqualified. Wow.

A coordinated effort at targeting nepotism and cronyism in university admissions would achieve this goal. But will university administrators really go for such a policy?
Furthermore, what constitutes two or more applicants being "equally-qualified?" What's the metric by which we're measuring whether an applicant's initial qualifications are "equal"?
