[quote=Anonymous]UC's are clever. Proposition 209 states that race is not supposed to be used in admissions. If you are from an upper middle class high school and are Hispanic FROM THAT HIGH SCHOOL you have zero advantage in being Hispanic. If you are in a Hispanic high school, now your advantage become real. You do not need the same qualifications as the Hispanic from the upper middle class high school (or white or Asian). UC will simply select a proportional number from that high school. The problem the UC's are finding out is that there are too few high performing Hispanics at these high schools and so they are getting mediocre students. The SAT gave them some ability to cull through a representative Hispanic high school but with that tool gone you are seeing accelerated degradation. For those wondering, Black students are only 5% of California's public school students. This debate revolves around Hispanic students.[/quote]
