> it ends up acting like an advert for those universities

Because parents and donors are confused about which two elite California schools that observe legacy?



Stan-ford? Is that a car?


If we're talking in Cal. Tech-nically he could own one, it's a big state.


Caltech does not do legacy admissions.


Cal generally refers to UC Berkeley, e.g. the Cal Band [1]. (It was the first UC.)

And "Technically" usually doesn't have a dash in the middle. The comments above were embedding college names in ways to make them not look like college names. Hence, the "-" to split "technically" emphasize "Tech" immediately after the "Cal" from the previous sentence.
