California Governor Gavin Newsom signed a law banning legacy and donor-based admissions at private universities like Stanford and USC, effective September 2025.

Legacy admissions, often benefiting wealthy families, contrast with affirmative action policies aimed at fostering diversity. Reform strategies include transparent criteria, holistic evaluations, and alumni engagement alternatives.
