If passed, the bill ‘will be vigorously challenged,’ civil rights attorney says

A California bill that would allow higher education institutions to prioritize slave descendants in college admissions is drawing harsh critique from some civil rights experts.

Introduced in December, the bill, AB 7, is a project of Democrat Assemblymember Isaac Bryan who represents part of Los Angeles.

If passed, it would allow the state’s two public higher education systems, the California State University and the University of California, as well as private colleges and universities to “consider providing a preference in admissions to an applicant who is a descendant of slavery, as defined, to the extent it does not conflict with federal law.”

But Edward Blum, the president of Students for Fair Admissions, told The College Fix the legislation basically amounts to racial discrimination.

“Prioritizing the status of those who self-identify as descendants of U.S. slaves in college admissions is the same as using racial classifications,” Blum said in a recent email. “Being a descendant of a slave is an exact proxy for being an African American.”
