      The author discusses the study conducted by research organization Opportunity Insights which highlighted the need to reform the college admissions criteria of elite colleges in the U.S. Topics explored include the elite colleges cited in the study such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Stanford University, the possible outcome of eliminating the legacy and character preferences of these institutions, and the need to improve diversity in the higher education sector.
