Massachusetts S950 aims to ensure fairness in higher education admissions by prohibiting certain practices and imposing fees on institutions that do.

Massachusetts S950 seeks to advance fairness, integrity, and excellence in higher education admissions by prohibiting institutions from considering legacy status, donor relationships, or early decision plans as factors in admissions. Institutions found in violation must pay a public service fee based on their endowment size. The collected fees support certificate and degree attainment at public community colleges and state universities. The bill also mandates annual reporting on admissions practices and requires the attorney general to establish procedures for compliance and fee assessment.
