Free admission to everyone who dies of a fentanyl overdose.

[ncalburt]

The Supreme court already banned it years ago .

[cgbg]

None dare call it anti-white and anti-Asian racism.

It is racism, pure and simple.

[Starcitizen]

Wouldn’t need affirmative action if UC bans foriegn Indians and Communist Chinese from it’s campuses. Whats the foreign population? 30 to 40% at some campuses?

[Shadow44]

You still think we live in a country where precedent and rule of law apply.

Sadly, we don’t.

[HollyB]

It’s also an insult. It says ‘I’m too stupid to gain entry on my own’.

[kaehurowing]

Sorry affirmative action is banned by California law. All races must be treated equally.

[NohSpinZone]

The SCOTUS outlawed quota-based admissions (starting with Bakke v. Regents) but never went far enough to ban affirmative action outright. Thanks to the heroic efforts of Ward Connerly, we here in California banned affirmative action in our universities through Prop 209. Like Prop 13, the libs HATE this law and will do whatever they can to kill it. Here's Mr. Connerly:

Why don’t they just make them black only colleges instead?

Whats the foreign population? 30 to 40% at some campuses?

When I was at UCSD Asians already made up a plurality at 48% of the student body. It would not surprise me if they made up a clear majority today. I'm afraid I don't have the breakdown of how many were foreign students vs Asian-Americans though.

[Bullish]

F’ your colleges then.

[freedumb2003]

>>The vote On Monday, the UC Board of Regents unanimously voted to propose rescinding the 1996 law known as Proposition 209, which outlawed “preferential treatment” for minority citizens applying to state colleges or government jobs.<<

This they get to discriminate against Asians even more than now!

NOTHING makes liberals happier than opportunities to do extreme racism.

[blueplum]

I envision a whole class of straight folk that just became bisexual for scholarship and admission purposes

[BenLurkin]

Genuine “institutional” racism.

[Grampa Dave]

Joe is all for Affirmative Action as long as he gets his!

Groping Joe goes for a really BiG BLM!

[utax]

Make sure to stamp their diplomas “Affirmative Action” in big bold red letters.

[I want the USA back]

AA is illegal and unconstitutional. Any law that “allows” it is invalid.

[TonyM]

[bkopto]

They admit lots of foreigners because they pay full tuition.

Imagine that. A state university, paid for by the state’s residents, which prefers foreigners, because money.
