FIRST ON FOX: California GOP Rep. Michelle Steel is introducing legislation requiring colleges and universities to be transparent about the use of 'personality traits' in admissions decisions.
The new bill comes as theagreed in the fall to hear two cases against U.S. colleges, Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , for allegedly"penalizing Asian American applicants" and using"race as a factor in admissions."
The"HARVARD Act" introduced Wednesday by Steel would hold higher education institutions accountable for using those personality traits as a key admissions factor. "I’ve worked for decades to bring fairness in our education system, and this is another important step toward ensuring a level playing field for ALL students," Steel continued.
The bill would require colleges to publicly acknowledge their use of personality traits in admissions, making it readily available on their application materials and websites. It would also require an explanation as to why they use such traits and the criteria and standards used in ratings of potential students.
