Assemblymember Phil Ting's bill is the first piece of legislation aimed at reforming the college admission process to reach California Governor Gavin Newsom's desk.
A bill headed to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk will require colleges in California to disclose how they treat applicants with connections to alumni or donors.
"Operation Varsity Blues," also dubbed the college admission scandal, was an FBI operation that resulted in the arrest of dozens of individuals. Among the parents accused of engaging in fraudulent measures to aid their children's admission to college were actress Lori Loughlin and businessman Robert Zangrillo.
If preferential treatment is given, a further breakdown would be required, including the number of applicants who did not meet admission standards, but were offered a spot, accepted and enrolled at the institution. The report would also have to include information on the number of applicants connected to donors or alumni that met admission standards.
