Bumiller, Elisabeth. "Bush, a Yale Legacy, Says Colleges Should Not Give Preference to Children of Alumni."
This article is going to be helpful to me because it uses a specific example of someone referring to the controversy of legacy admissions. Since it was President Bush, this particular example caused a lot of controversy. Using the contradiction of Bush being a Yale legacy, and him saying that legacies should be banned, I can bring to attention the conflicting views of legacies. He also provides why he thinks they should be banned. The issue of race, regarding legacy admissions, is addressed in this article.

Rodriguez, Roberto. "The Dirty Little Secret Of College Admissions."
This article goes into specific details revolving around a scandal regarding the admittance of students into the University of California. These details can be used to generate information to a wide number of ideas about legacy admissions. The author has a clear view that opposes the idea of allowing legacy admissions. He also has specific interest with the aspect of race, in regards to legacy admissions.

Leef, George. "Legacy Admissions - Affirmative Action for the Rich?" www.popecenter.org 19 Feb. 2008.
This article presents the issue in a much broader sense than my other two articles. This article will allow me to present the reader with a clear understanding of the issue as a whole. The author has the opinion that schools should not use legacy admissions, if they are a public school (he believes that private schools should be able to operate as they please). He does provide some specific examples, he uses UNC as a college to look at, but I will find this article the most useful to explain the topic.
I don't know why that last link isn't showing up. If you highlight it you can see it.
