California bans legacy admissions at private colleges, including Stanford and Santa Clara University
Briefly

The California Dream shouldn't be accessible to just a lucky few, which is why we're opening the door to higher education wide enough for everyone, fairly.
Partly because California enrolls the most number of college students out of any state in the country, bill backers say this legislation is a necessary corrective to last year's U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
The law, set to kick in next year, will eliminate legacy admissions advantages, aiming to promote merit-based selections in college admissions.
Supporters of the bill argue it seeks to reverse the feeling of doubt among students regarding their value on college campuses post-Supreme Court decision.
