Lawsuit Accuses University of California of Allowing Race to Factor in Admissions

Lawsuit Accuses University of California of Allowing Race to Factor in Admissions
SHARE

The University of California system has been under scrutiny recently for allegedly resorting to race-conscious admissions practices despite a 28-year-old ban on considering race in college admissions, known as Proposition 209. A lawsuit filed by Students Against Racial Discrimination accuses the university of cheating by secretly implementing racial preferences to increase the number of Black and Hispanic students in their campuses.

Stett Holbrook, a spokesman for the University of California system, stated that the university had adjusted its admissions practices to comply with the law after the ban on considering race in admissions. However, the lawsuit claims that the university has been gradually reintroducing racial preferences to address the low representation of Black and Hispanic students at their top universities.

The lawsuit, filed by a group that includes researchers and Asian American anti-affirmative action activists, argues that the University of California system is violating protections against racial discrimination in federal civil rights law and the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment. The group seeks to eliminate what they deem as corrupt and unlawful race and sex preferences in admissions and ensure that students are selected in a color-blind manner.

Despite the controversy, the University of California system reported an increase in Black and Latino undergraduate enrollment across its 10 campuses. The university attributed this increase to targeted recruitment efforts, elimination of standardized testing requirements, and funding support from the state. While some argue that the increase in enrollment is a result of demographic changes and improved college readiness among minority students, the lawsuit questions the fairness of the admissions process.

The debate over affirmative action and its impact on student success continues to be a contentious issue. Critics like Dr. Richard Sander argue that affirmative action can have detrimental effects on Black and Latino students who may struggle academically in more selective environments. However, research has shown conflicting evidence on the so-called “mismatch theory” and its implications for student outcomes.

As the legal battle unfolds, the University of California system faces scrutiny over its admissions practices and the implications of race-conscious decision-making. The outcome of the lawsuit could have far-reaching implications for the future of affirmative action in college admissions across the country.
