Virginia becomes second state to ban university legacy admissions

Virginia becomes second state to ban university legacy admissions

After the Supreme Court said universities could no longer consider an applicant's race, legacy-based admissions drew greater scrutiny.

Virginia will become the second state to ban legacy admissions at public colleges and universities after Gov. Glenn Youngkin signed a bill that unanimously cleared the state legislature. 

The bill says public universities cannot give preferential admissions to college applicants based on their familial relationship to the school. Virginia joins Colorado as the only states to ban the practice. 

Applicants at the University of Virginia were "invited" to share their family's relationship to the university. The new law says the university can no longer use that information to accept an applicant. 

Legacy admissions came under greater scrutiny after the Supreme Court ruled last year in Students for Fair Admissions vs. Harvard that affirmative action programs violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. This largely meant that universities could no longer consider an applicant's race in admissions. 

Affirmative action policies were put in place by a number of universities to boost admissions among historically underserved and discriminated groups. Several states had since banned the practice, but it remained widely used at some of the nation's top academic institutions.
