"Virginia Outlaws Legacy Admissions at Public Universities"
TL;DR
Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin signed a bill banning the consideration of legacy in admissions to public universities, removing the advantage previously enjoyed by applicants with family ties to institutions such as the University of Virginia and William & Mary. This move makes Virginia the second state, after Colorado, to end admission advantages through family connections, and U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine hopes it will become a national movement.
