#California bans #legacyadmissions at all #colleges
"In California, everyone should be able to get ahead through merit, skill, and hard work," #Newsom said in a statement. "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." California's law, which takes effect Sept. 1, 2025, is nation's fifth legacy admissions ban, but only second that will apply to private colleges.

Some may say “it runs in the family”.
Who benefits from antiquated, outmoded practices like #LegacyAdmissions? Hard to tell. Especially with a few testimonials from people whose privilege was getting admitted through selective processes which emphasized #bloodlines.
In a part of the World which emphasizes #meritocracy so heartily, this situation is in a long list of… headscratchers.
