Yes, it is possible per the SCOTUS' recent judgment.
The question now is how will or might any university try to circumvent the ruling?

I spent some time in that building.
Samuel Bronfman made his fortune "selling" liquor. He really wanted to be the first Jewish Canadian senator but was denied that honour (David Croll was the first).

Canadian universities never had (officially) affirmative action. So, no need to get rid of something that never existed. However, some Canadian universities did have a quota on Jewish students but that was before my time.
Just a hunch but based upon that post I am guiessing you do not score well on IQ tests.
Waterloo and some other schools have coop programs. We hire one or two every Summer.
If you believe that then you have no clue about the admissions policy and criteria.
if a recruit has a low IQ the US Army finds him/ her counterproductive and punts him/ her

do not be ridiculous
legacy admissions are incentives to have alumni contribute $ to the school
that is big $ in the US
because race, gender are both irrelevant to judging a persons character
Not sure why you feel you need to repeat falsehoods
I sense a certain level of hypocrisy with certain posters, who don’t like affirmative action, because it might give a university spot to a visible minority, but they are just fine with legacy students who may not be as qualified taking a spot from a more qualified student.

Wait a minute. Are you suggesting that legacy students are not getting in on merit alone. Next you will be suggesting that the child of someone who endows a building or makes a large contribution is not being admitted on merit alone. Say it ain't so.How elite US schools give preference to wealthy and white 'legacy' applicants

Of course not. I would much rather have a surgeon who got in because his/her father went to that school.
Sure, I’ve been seeing that all along.
But we’ve only gotten rid of one of them.
affirmative action is driven by ideology and virtue signaling
legacy placements is driven by self interest of alumni, their kids & the universities
imagine the delight of a successful alumni who has been donating $100,000 / year to his alma mater to hear the school reject his kids application while the same school supports affirmative action
just as soon as your ideology and virtue signaling can provide the funding for a new science building or endowment scholarships you might have a real argument
Guys like Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, etc. don't need universities. Truth be told, universities need them more than they need universities. A lot of universities would be starved for funds if not for donations by rich legacy donors.

not going to happen
alumni donations is a big $ business in the USA
but as long as you are hell bent on changing the entrance criteria why not consider axe the athletic scholarship's driven by the NCAAs TV / broadcasting deals
and the academic fraud that accompanies them

The scandal involved 61 athletes, and although the N.C.A.A. did not name them
which involved a learning specialist, an academic adviser and a tutor who took tests and wrote papers for athletes.
