AI Summary
This bill aims to advance fairness, integrity, and excellence in higher education admissions. It prohibits four-year degree-granting institutions from considering legacy status, donor relationships, or early decision policies as factors in admissions, unless the institution pays a public service fee. The bill also requires these institutions to report annually on their admissions data, including the enrollment rates of students from different socioeconomic and racial backgrounds. The fees collected from non-compliant institutions will be deposited into the Higher Education Opportunity Trust Fund, which will support certificate and degree attainment at public community colleges in the state.
