Amazing that with a $70 Billion shortfall the California legislature has time for this.  I’m not sure they can dictate admissions policies to private schools anymore than they could tell a family business not to hire the children of the owners.  Meh

I agree with your comment that they have lots more important things to do. It is also true that the State can't dictate to a private university what it's admissions policy should be. However, the State of California can absolutely say "If you don't follow our desired admissions policy, we won't give your students state aid". Whether the State should do so is open for debate, but they clearly have the power.

Good point. I was focusing on the admissions aspect and overlooked the money threat.
