Fair College Admissions for Students Act

Fair College Admissions for Students Act

This bill prohibits an institution of higher education (IHE) that participates in federal student-aid programs from giving preferential treatment in the admissions process to applicants based on their relationships to donors or alumni of the IHE.

Bill 118 HR 4900, also known as the Fair College Admissions for Students Act, aims to address issues of fairness and transparency in the college admissions process. The bill seeks to ensure that all students have an equal opportunity to gain admission to colleges and universities based on their merit and qualifications.

One key provision of the bill is the requirement for colleges and universities to disclose their admissions criteria and processes to the public. This transparency is intended to prevent any bias or discrimination in the admissions process and to ensure that all students are evaluated fairly.

Additionally, the bill includes measures to prevent fraud and corruption in college admissions, such as prohibiting the use of fraudulent documents or bribes to gain admission. This is in response to recent scandals involving wealthy individuals using illegal means to secure spots for their children at prestigious universities. Overall, the Fair College Admissions for Students Act seeks to promote fairness, integrity, and equal opportunity in the college admissions process. By increasing transparency and accountability, the bill aims to level the playing field for all students seeking to further their education.
