holy shit do libs have shit for brains and newsom is nothing if not a lib
Sacramento, California – Governor Gavin Newsom today announced that he has signed AB 1780 by Assemblymember Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) to prohibit legacy and donor preferences in the admissions process for private, nonprofit institutions. Legacy status and donor preferences have long been excluded from the state’s public university admissions process. The University of California system eliminated legacy preferences in 1998.
“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.”
Governor Gavin Newsom
the proposed new law is in response to not being able to use race in applications, however, not because newsom is some merit proponent. like with every lib, quite the opposite

true
interestingly, if the schools actually abide by this new law -- not a given -- it will hurt UMC blacks.

in a completely alternate universe, i'd like private universities that take $1 of federal money to still be able to make their own decisions on all sorts of issues. i don't like the current regime of "you took the king's schilling and now we will regulate you completely." so i'd be ok with private universities doing mostly whatever the hell they want to, so long as they are open and honest about it.
in the real world, this sort of law has mixed results, i think. it weakens alumni support at the margin. but it means that rich kids don't have an inside track.
what do you think?

Assuming the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment incorporates most provisions of the Bill of Rights (which I think is bullshit, but is how it is) into the application state law -- I never understood how any laws like this don't violate the first amendment.

the defense against eliminating legacy admits is that stanford is an elite university and there are factors that are more important that academics, like character, leadership ability, chads who come from long lines of prominent families who have served the country in high profile govt roles or have been generals or have succeeded in businesses to a really high degree, and that the potential of those students is worth far more than a superstudy who will get 1600 on the sats but otherwise has no civic or redeeming character or qualities
of course rationale works when you have noblesse oblige but those days have long since passed and every one of them are going to work for blackstone or whatever so this is a good thing overall

Nobody itt has mentioned legacies and donors… donate. The schools need revenue.
