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.
