The University of California claims to have admitted the most racially diverse class in its history, despite a long-standing state law, Proposition 209, prohibiting the consideration of race in admissions. However, a lawsuit filed by Students Against Racial Discrimination challenges this assertion, accusing the UC system of reinstating racial preferences in an effort to appease public concern over low representation of Black and Hispanic students. University officials maintain that their adjustments are lawful, focusing on race and ethnicity data for statistical purposes rather than admissions criteria.
The University of California has achieved record levels of racial diversity in its admissions, despite a 28-year-old state law that bans race consideration.
A lawsuit alleges the University of California is circumventing Proposition 209 by secretly implementing race-conscious admissions to address concerns over low diversity.
