Facts not on Trump's side.[/quote]

I'm sure you think so.

Objective reality is UCLA has been discriminating on the basis of race.
Their admissions practices are designed to achieve racial diversity.
You might think racial diversity is a laudable goal but it is illegal.
Perhaps we can put these colleges on something like the pre-clearance plan we had in the civil rights act for the next 50 years to make sure any changes in their admissions methodology doesn't run afoul of the Civil rights act and the 14th amendment.

They will sign a consent decree, pay a fine in the hopes of getting their funding back.[/quote]

Except the data says opposite. Black students make up 6.5% of the population, about the black overall population. Latino 22% - far less than the state population. Asian 35% - far more than the state population. Females make up more than 60% of students.

UCLA can rigorously defend its practices.
Whereas other universities trying to carefully curate their classes and hand select students to make a “balanced class” - UCLA does none of that. It’s stats and geography driven. It VERY carefully follows the law.

Please consider that this is politically motivated pure & simple.

Trump wants retribution. If you don’t see that, you are blind.
