We’re the ones who made Harvard and its brethren synonymous with prestige; we’re the ones who created the incentives to sell some of that prestige out the back door. We could have pushed schools to lean harder on harder-to-game grades and test scores instead of letting them craft “holistic” systems that favored rich people. Better yet, we could have chosen our elites from a broader range of schools, rather than outsourcing the creation of our elites to some unknown bureaucrats in Ivy League admissions offices.
