Black Agenda Radio · Ending Legacy Admissions in New York

Johanna Miller is Director of Education Policy at the New York Civil Liberties Union. In a recent commentary on the NYCLU website she wrote about the need to move forward with proposed legislation that would end legacy college admissions in New York State.

Johanna Miller joins us from New York City to explain what makes legacy admissions so problematic.
