/CT moves to ban legacy admissions at public and private universities
Say goodbye to alumni donations, but there it is.
Amy Carter at Brown; Sasha Obama at USC; here’s how Hunter went to Yale:
Biden family benefits continued for Hunter when he applied to Yale Law School.
Dean Guido Calabresi got a call from the school’s most powerful alumnus, President Bill Clinton, who asked him to accept Hunter Biden, a recent Georgetown graduate, according to a 2019 report in Chronicle of Higher Education.
Calabresi, who had walled off the dean’s office from the admissions process at Yale Law to avoid just such pressure, told Clinton that he would not intercede. The admissions office then rejected Hunter.
But Calabresi met with Hunter, and encouraged him to go to a different law school and to then apply to Yale as a transfer student. Hunter Biden went to Georgetown University Law for a year, and was admitted to Yale in the summer of 1994.
Clinton nominated Calabresi to a federal judgeship that same year. At the time, Sen. Joe Biden was chairman of the Judiciary Committee, the person in charge of shepherding Calabresi’s nomination.
