[quote=Anonymous]UCs are trying to mirror the state. They can’t match it exactly but there is a crazy gap between what achievement is required from a Latino student vs what achievement is required for an Asian or white student. The top six UCs have substantially increased their % of Latino students while reducing the % of white students despite state testing showing a wide gap with Asian/white students scoring higher.  It’s clearly a goal as every year each of the top six schools immediately releases a PR statement on how many more Hispanic and FGLI students they admitted.

A white or asian 4.0 kid WTH 1500+ SAT who took actual rigorous courses in a difficult school, scored 5s on APs, had great ECs ends up with UC Merced or Riverside as their choices . A Latino kid from Watsonville, Modesto or Stockton who is handed a 4.0 from their high school while not even achieving middle or elementary school math proficiency and is unable to write a term paper gets a free full ride to Cal, UCSD and the rest.

As California has a two tiered in state college system, this is just ridiculous. The unqualified and unprepared students could easily go to their regional or other Cal states or go to community college to address their remedial skills and then transfer.

As a voting group Latinos voted against reinstating affirmative action. This is solely the UC regents and a minority of people in the state and  UC system orchestrating this.[/quote]
