The FAIR Act of 2025 aims to limit legacy and donor preferences in admissions for higher education institutions in the District of Columbia. It prohibits these institutions from offering such preferences unless they meet specific criteria, such as having a student body where at least 30% receive Federal Pell Grants. The Act also mandates annual reporting to the Deputy Mayor for Education, including data on student demographics and recruitment practices. The reporting data must be aggregated to protect individual identities.
