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.

Being over-represented does not mean you aren't discriminated against.
You are too stupid for this conversation if you don't realize this.

This is definitely politically motivated, that doesn't mean it's wrong.
This is going to be a perennial issue.  There are almost no negative political consequences for going after colleges for racial discrimination against whites and ORM and a lot of political benefits.
It's not just a matter of waiting the trump presidency.  
College admissions is going to be a lot more transparent because nobody is going to put that toothpaste back in the tube and tell collges and universities they can hide their black box from public view.

For generations, colleges could discriminate against whites and ORM without any consequences.  Now there are consequences.  Good.

They can't fight this.  At leat not the disclosure and transparency part of it.[/quote]
