California Legislature Passes Bill to Ban Legacy Admissions at Private Colleges

Home

Summary

Nutrition label

88% Informative

California passes bill barring private nonprofit colleges from using legacy in admissions.

Lawmakers say bill is a corrective to last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling that banned race as a factor.

Bill backers say it could be a powerful force in influencing the decision of high school students who are low-income and students of color.

The bill doesn’t have the punitive teeth Ting initially sought.

Gone are provisions that would have forced colleges to pay a civil penalty equal to the amount they got in Cal Grant dollars.

As it stands, the bill’s only punishment for colleges would be to appear on a list compiled by the Department of Justice .

The bill, if signed, would take effect next year .
