The bill affects institutions and their officers, employees, and agents, establishing a private cause of action for individuals who believe they have been discriminated against, allowing them to seek damages and injunctive relief. Key provisions include the prohibition of using race or ethnicity in admissions decisions and the requirement for institutions to notify relevant employees of the bill's stipulations.
