    It’s an Ivy League school.

    Years ago, an ex-girlfriend was proctoring a course at an Ivy League. She had a billionaire’s daughter, a legacy admission, in one of her classes. The billionaire’s daughter never showed up to class. My ex-gf failed her. Later, when she looked at the recorded grades, the billionaire’s daughter who never showed up for class had a ‘C.’

    George W. Bush graduated from Yale with a C average.

    Ivy League schools educate many people. But they often just give degrees to the legacy admissions, to the wealthy, and to the politically connected.
