Related bill: SF377
AI Generated Summary
This bill, introduced in the Minnesota House of Representatives, seeks to prohibit colleges and universities in Minnesota from giving preferential treatment in their admissions processes based on legacy status, which is described as an applicant's family relationship to an alumnus of the institution. Additionally, it wants to stop any preferential admissions treatment for applicants with family ties to donors of the institution. The bill affects both public and private higher education institutions, and though it specifically requests compliance from the Board of Regents of the University of Minnesota, it implies statewide implementation for all institutions of higher education.
