"illegal" is a red herring here...
what happened here is a talented, top of his class, student got a free ride at a private university... given it's a private university, cost to tax payer, if any, is trivial, while the benefits are significant... how could anyone have a problem with that?
on the other hand, costs of giving free higher education to everyone are huge, while the benefits (if there even are any?) aren't clear...
