Overview
This bill prohibits New Jersey colleges and universities from giving an advantage in admissions to students who are the descendants of alumni – a practice known as ‘legacy admissions.’ It defines ‘legacy status’ as a familial connection to an institution’s graduate. The law aims to ensure that all applicants are evaluated solely on their qualifications and merit.
