"Legacy and Athlete Preferences at Harvard"

Peter Arcidiacono, the Duke professor who was the expert witness for Students for Fair Admissions in the Harvard case, has now (with co-authors) produced a paper on the subject entitled "Legacy and Athlete Preferences at Harvard".
(http://public.econ.duke.edu/~psarcidi/legacyathlete.pdf). This is the abstract:

"The lawsuit Students For Fair Admissions v. Harvard University provided an unprecedented look at how an elite school makes admissions decisions. Using publicly
released reports, we examine the preferences Harvard gives for recruited athletes, legacies, those on the dean’s interest list, and children of faculty and staff (ALDCs). Among
white admits, over 43% are ALDC. Among admits who are African American, Asian
American, and Hispanic, the share is less than 16% each. Our model of admissions
shows that roughly three quarters of white ALDC admits would have been rejected if
they had been treated as white non-ALDCs. Removing preferences for athletes and
legacies would significantly alter the racial distribution of admitted students, with the
share of white admits falling and all other groups rising or remaining unchanged."
