In California, everyone should be able to get ahead through merit, skill, and hard work. 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.
Even though the California law makes legacy and donor admissions illegal, it does not specify any punishment for universities that violate it, which raises questions about enforcement and compliance.
The issue of preferential admission treatment based on family status and wealth attracted renewed opposition after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled last year that race-based affirmative action in college applications is unconstitutional.
Maryland, Virginia, and Illinois have all enacted similar bans on legacy admissions, reflecting a growing trend across states to ensure equitable access to higher education.
