California AB7 allows state and private postsecondary institutions to give admissions preference to descendants of slavery.

California AB7 permits the California State University, the University of California, independent institutions of higher education, and private postsecondary educational institutions to consider providing an admissions preference to applicants who are descendants of slavery. This preference is allowed only if it does not conflict with federal law. A "descendant of slavery" is defined as someone who can establish direct lineage to a person who was subjected to American chattel slavery before 1900 and meets specific criteria, such as being emancipated through legal or extralegal means.
