Prohibits institution of higher education from giving preferential consideration for admission to legacy student.

This bill prohibits New Jersey colleges and universities from giving preferential treatment to applicants based on "legacy status" (having a parent or relative who attended the school) or familial ties to donors. It directly affects prospective students applying to higher education institutions in New Jersey, ensuring admissions decisions are not influenced by these factors. The law requires institutions to stop considering such connections during admissions, applying immediately upon enactment. The bill defines legacy status specifically as a familial relationship to an institution alumnus, banning any preferential consideration for this reason.
