“Practices like legacy admissions and other systems expand privilege instead of opportunity,” President Joe Biden said while announcing plans to direct the Department of Education to examine admissions practices to help colleges and universities uphold diverse student bodies.

Members of the House of Representatives weighed in as well.

“If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) tweeted.
