“Today, discourse surrounding the Ivy League echoes eugenicists like Huntington. Ivy League students and faculty perpetuate the idea that these institutions are home to the nation’s brightest minds. This narrative that students were solely admitted because of their innate abilities, hard work, and character feed into the myth of exceptional individuals. Due to the way these institutions are structured, it appears that students are deserving of privilege, connections, and excessive resources as a reward for their exceptionalism. It is the role of anti-eugenicists to counteract this narrative by exposing the harmful history surrounding this language, educating students on these myths, and challenging the existence of institutions which thrive off these narratives i.e. Yale.”
