Err
Minority enrollment: Time for exaggerations.
This year marked the first time that underrepresented minority admissions increased since they initially began dropping after the implementation of Proposition 209, which outlawed the use of race and gender as a factor in the admissions process.
I suppose one might also point out that while URM admissions decreased in 2002, that was because the total number of admits decreased that year, and they actually represented a higher proportion than the year before. But dude, using meaningful statistics is no way to complain.
Among other demands, the students urged the UC Board of Regents to disregard the new SAT in the admissions process. The revised test implements a writing section, which Cruz said will spread discrimination to Asian, Pacific Islander, immigrant and English as a second language students.
Rewind a few years, "The SAT needs a writing section to better stop discrimination against minorities."
