"Hard work, good grades and a well-rounded background should earn you a spot in the incoming class not the size of the check your family can write or who you're related to," said Phil Ting, the Democratic state assembly member who authored the legislation.
"The wave of new state laws comes in response to the decision last year by the supreme court's conservative majority to bar both private and public universities from considering race as a factor in college admissions," highlighting the broader context of equity in education.
"Legacy and donor preferences are a recipe for aristocracy, not justice. [The law] is a critical first step toward ensuring that California’s college admissions process is fair and equitable," stated Helen Iris Torres of Hispanas Organized for Political Equality.
