California law bans college legacy and donor admissions, including USC, Stanford
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill into law that makes California the latest state to ban legacy and donor admissions in higher education, including at Stanford and USC.
A new law banning legacy and donor admissions at private California universities, including USC and Stanford — among the handful of schools that admit a significant number of children of alumni or donors — was signed Monday by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who said the action will promote equal educational opportunities.
"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."
The law affects a small number of private institutions in the state that consider family connections in admissions. Others that currently embrace the practice include Santa Clara, Claremont McKenna and Harvey Mudd colleges.
The new law takes effect Sept. 1, 2025, and requires universities to file their first annual report to the state Legislature and Department of Justice by June 30, 2026, indicating whether they have followed the law or broken it. The attorney general''s office then will have the option of pursuing charges against violators.
