California Assemblyman Isaac Bryan, a Democrat, is planning to introduce a bill on Monday afternoon that would give admission priority to the descendants of slaves at two of the state’s public university systems, his office confirmed to the Washington Examiner. 

“For decades, universities gave preferential admission treatment to donors, and their family members, while others tied to legacies of harm were ignored and at times outright excluded,” he said in a separate interview with the Associated Press. “We have a moral responsibility to do all we can to right those wrongs.”
