[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How can they ban it for private colleges?

I do think legacy preference is unfair, but it’s not unconstitutional.

The original bill pulled state funding for low/middle income students at private institutions. They removed the penalty and amended Education Code Section 66018.4(c), which was about to sunset.

"Starting in mid-2025, all California private institutions must report to the legislature whether they utilized legacy or donor preferences in the preceding academic year. Institutions that did use preferences have an additional requirement to report certain information for all admitted students (legacy/donor status, [b][u]race[/u], geography, [u]income bracket[/u] and athletic status[/b]) and the admission rates of students given preference compared to those who did not."

I don't think Stanford or USC will want to disclose other institutional priorities and will follow the law.

So it’s not actually banned?
