"This bill clarifies, to the extent permitted by federal law, that California public and private postsecondary educational institutions may consider providing a preference in admissions to an applicant who is a descendant of slavery," Newsom wrote Monday in his veto. "These institutions already have the authority to determine whether to provide admissions preferences like this one, and accordingly, this bill is unnecessary."
