Abstract
- The article discusses the topic of selective admissions in education and explores the reasons for selectivity, suggesting lottery admission as an alternative. The author addresses many factors regarding why institutions are choosy, including prestige, future success and donations, and students who are easy to educate. He argues that randomized selection is fair and socially responsible, but is not favored because it disrupts the shared values and culture of excellence in schools.
