[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]After California voters banned affirmative action at state universities in 1996, the University of California system saw a 12 percent drop in underrepresented groups, while campuses in Berkeley and Los Angeles both reported more than 40 percent declines, according to Bleemer’s research. Over time, those numbers have climbed at the most selective UC campuses, which have used multiple strategies to bolster diversity, in part also because of growth in the state’s Hispanic population. [b]But the race-neutral alternatives increased enrollment of underrepresented minorities far less than affirmative action.[/b]”

Yes - UC found it harder to have diversity when there wasn't an easy box to sort their applicants.  But they absolutely care about diversity and still try to achieve it.  URM is still a hook at any school that values diversity and can find a way to achieve it after the SCOTUS ruling. HYPSM all still care.[/quote]

That’s the lie you want to believe. It doesn’t matter if a school cares about diversity. It’s now ILLEGAL to base admissions decisions on a student’s race. Being an URM is not a hook.

Btw, UCLA and Cal are both less than 3% Black. How is “caring about racial diversity” working for them?!?[/quote]

California is 5% black.[/quote]

The United States is 14% Black. OOS can/do apply to UC’s. [/quote]

Is racial diversity only measured by the number of Black students?
[/quote]

That’s how I’m measuring it.[/quote]

Why?
[/quote]

Because I’m Black and that’s the group I’m most interested in knowing about on these campuses. [/quote]

Do you think a person who is not Black should be interested in knowing about the Black population on these campuses?

[/quote]

Non-Black people should ask themselves that question. I’m sure the answers will vary. [/quote]

Why do you think they should ask themselves that Q?
[/quote]

I really don’t care, one way or the other. [/quote]

They why do you think UCLA or Cal should care if you don’t?[/quote]
