Im not asking that to be confrontive, I was not successful in finding anything.
I agree that there are studies on both sides. I dont agree that there are "just as many." Everything I have read would suggest that the preponderance of studies suggest a bias.

The legacy issue is more of a factor in private institutions, but w/o searching, I agree its anecdotal.
