It is legit (I work for a university), and for now the database design is not going to be changed. But I whereas the lgeacy system I described might need redesigning, the new one has more redundancies--separate name and address information for inquiries and applicants. I figured that there may be another way of looking at the relationships.

Thanks for your feedback, though. This should definitely be a homework assignment. If you want me to write up the full design problem and send it to you to someone who does need an assignment, please let me know!
