[quote=Anonymous]UC wants to mirror CA demographics. The problem is that the Latino students are the largest growing group but most don’t even score for basic proficiency on the English and math tests. The Asian students score the highest and are concentrated in several areas. The coastal white students score high but other white students are spread across the state. AA students are concentrated in several areas and score low. Public schools in CA are extremely segregated more so than the DMV due to many smaller school systems and housing costs create stark difference in socioeconomic make ups in schools.

UC was counting on CA voters repealing the prohibition on using race and deeply upset when voters rejected the repeal measure. There is simply no way to raise the amount of Latino admits to 30% and grow the Asian admits to avoid more lawsuits without reducing the white kids. UC has made statements that the decline of white students is due to wealthy white students choosing private universities. This is BS as the high stat Asian and white students don’t want to be bussed to UC Merced so a Latino student who needs remedial math and English can attend Cal or a mid tier UC.

After the UCSD study, CA should audit the UCs and compare math placement scores at all schools as well as state testing scores against admit and reject applications.

If the state of California wants to engage in social engineering then fine. However, based on past votes it doesn’t. It’s wrong for the UC regents to decide on their own how best to serve California while hiding what they are doing. [/quote]
