Admissions Law

Admissions Law refers to the legal principles and regulations governing the process by which universities and colleges select students for enrollment. It encompasses issues like non-discrimination, affirmative action, and privacy rights, ensuring that admissions practices comply with federal and state laws. Key laws include the Civil Rights Act and the Higher Education Act, which prohibit discrimination based on race, gender, or disability. Institutions must also navigate challenges related to standardized testing, enrollment quotas, and transparency in admissions criteria, all while balancing institutional goals and commitments to diversity and equity among their student populations.
