This part of the article says it all:
Renita Chaney, a junior and executive director of the campus Black Recruitment and Retention Center, said she would be reluctant to encourage black freshmen to attend this fall unless they want a challenge.
"If it's activism or some kind of fight they're looking for, then come here. But if education is what they're looking for, then don't come here," she said.
WOW! Even the recruiters are recognizing the hypocrisy.
Either that, or they are publicly admitting that the school's purpose is training activists. Education is a secondary activity that can be better accomplished elsewhere.
The fall enrollment figures came about six months after John Moores, chairman of UC's governing Board of Regents, issued a report saying Berkeley turned away thousands of students who aced the SAT but accepted hundreds — many of whom were black or Hispanic — with low scores.
Meaning that a degree from Berkeley isn't a resume enhancer.
Who would want to be around a bunch of elitist liberal racists anyway?
Forking over $20+K a year just to be part of "some kind of fight"?? Talk about money or nothing. Just head on town to the local bar and Saturday and get all the "activism" you want for free!
