What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Following legislation signed by Gavin Newsom, Stanford University paused the use of state funding for financial assistance programs. This action means a sizable portion of California’s Education Code no longer applies to the University. As a result, Stanford has been able to shape policies differently than other California schools, despite adhering to applicable baseline standards set by the California Education Code.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The University’s decision to substitute state financial aid after AB 1780 took effect prevents it from preferring applicants with connections to alumni or donors. However, the University continues to factor legacy and donor relations into admissions, a policy freedom gained by forfeiting state funding.

Newsom signed legislation affecting state education policy, including issues related to degree duplication and protest rights in California higher education.
