[quote=Anonymous]What is more interesting to me is that the roles that this UCB Dean of Admissions had before UCB were all DEI roles for the prior 7-8 years. Running DEI initiatives. His PhD at UCB is actually on Equity and Democracy it seems Organizations are just people. And the people drive thousands of minute decisions and stances that drive an agenda. In this case, it’s pretty interesting to see what the background of this Dean is. Has not in fact run an undergrad admissions office but has run DEI initiatives at three prior schools. So no one should be surprised that he and his AOs are peering into essays to see race - despite the law. The person who posted actually black student percent at UCB is missing the point. It might be too high. It might in fact be too low. The point is that the AOs should not be reading into essays or zip code of applicant to guess race. And it’s pretty implicit in the interview that they are. [/quote]
