California lawmakers send bill banning college legacy admissions to governor
Briefly

"Equal opportunity is the name of the game here... 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."
"If we value diversity in higher education, we must level the playing field. That means making the college application process more fair and equitable."
"If race can't be a factor, wealth or relationships shouldn't be considered either... This bill is a response to the Supreme Court's ban on race considerations in college admissions."
"The bill builds on existing legislation... which required colleges to disclose whether admitted students have a relationship to a donor or alumni and how many did not otherwise meet the criteria for admission."
