Like other states, California won’t financially penalize violators, but it will post the names of violators on the state Department of Justice’s website.
Wow that’s a brutal punishment
“How dare you sir” ahh punishment.
California really is the asshole of America (or is that Texas? i dont fucking know anymore).
It’s Texas. California loves to Pantomime at decency then cower whenever someone calls to Woke.
Texas reveals in fascism and torments people for trying to be nice
Those were still a thing?
I thought rich parents just made a sizable donation to get their kids in.
they are totally still a thing at so-called competitive admission schools. I met somebody once who dropped they were a “double legacy” at Vassar as an unironic brag and I immediately made it their nickname and took every opportunity to bring it up, because that should not be a thing.

Imagine being proud of that.
And I thought my degree was Mickey Mouse (well according to employers it is) because I went to a state school and did not major in STEM.
Owned.
Legacy admissions seems like a great way to maintain social hierarchy and keep the rich donors friendly without having an explicit paper trail. Also, I don’t think doctors and lawyers have “make 6 to 7 figure bribe” money lying around, and I think their kids are the main target demo of legacy admissions
I imagined like $10k or something along those lines. It doesn’t take much to bribe.
Senators sell out humanity for way less than I expected, for sure.
hey remember that massive admissions scandal from a few years ago that showed rampant abuse of wealth to falsify and finesse applications as well as outright bribery of administrators
Rare California W, but Newsom is still a coward.
As it should be. Nepotism is a pant load.
What if they were Le Gassy admissions and you had to fart real well to get in or smth
This will do nothing. The Supreme Court ruling on using ethnicity data for seating classes prevented reviewers from seeing the data entirely. It had teeth and it appears as though schools unilaterally acted in compliance. I was tangentially involved. Since compliance didn’t cost them anything it was accepted. What this legacy “ban” will do is force the schools to use the more common method of legacy review influence. A call from the president to Dean of Admissions. For the record, the admissions department’s don’t want to even ask this stuff.
I thought Leland Stanford Junior university was like a community college or smthing
