The New York Times Discusses Larson Article on Legacy Preferences
Professor Carlton Larson, a constitutional law and legal history expert, was quoted in a column in The New York Times on legacy preferences in college admissions. The Times discussed Larson's article, "Titles of Nobility, Hereditary Privilege, and the Unconstitutionality of Legacy Preferences in Public School Admissions," published in the Washington University Law Review, and referred to it as "a fascinating and provocative article." The article contends that the Constitution prohibits legacy preferences at public universities through its nobility clauses.
